On Reading Pace

I’m working my way through
Wolves of Black Pine, and compared to previous books I’ve been reading lately, this one has become a bit of a slog. I’m at 85% after 6 days. I’m not necessarily complaining – I love the setting, I love the characters (even if there’s some serious manifestations of The Ace going on – fortunately, the character is entirely likeable). There is something in the writing that is slowing me down, or maybe just not engaging me as much as usual. I think the author has an issue with pacing, and there’s been a couple of times where the same scene plays out twice, described through a different character’s POV. I’m a little perplexed because I do like the book, – maybe it’s just a case of liking it through its flaws. This is going to be an interesting one to review when I finish it. If I ever finish it 🙂
