Dominion by C.S. Friedman
2.0
The thing about CS Friedman is that she comes up with some really amazing concepts for stories, concepts that I would normally lap right up, but when I actually read (or in this case, listen to) the book—I'm disappointed.
Fans of Ms Friedman's other books will probably enjoy this novella. I find her writing style to be bland, though, and it's difficult to get through her work. Everything she writes feels very muted and passive, as if every action is filtered. It's hard to relate to any of the characters because they are so very...I don't know...distant? It's hard to get absorbed in it.
I probably wouldn't have finished this novella if it hadn't been for RC Bray's narrating. Love his voice. He brings a lot to the book.
