The Cosmic Courtship

Imaginative but poor writing

Yekult

I like a lot of the ideas in this book because it's very much a fairytale novel set on Saturn, which I find compelling. But the writing could have used a lot of work. There's a lot of fluff words, too much telling instead of showing, no "loading the gun" beforehand, it sets up plot devices that never happen, there's more help from magical items than problem solving, and there's almost no character development. Though, if this was remastered, whether in film form or book, it could be amazing! In terms of recording, it's a little jarring to suddenly swap and juggle readers in the middle of the book, but I can't really complain because it's free.
