A review by shandyt
City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

It is to my very great shame that I have to mark this book as my first DNF in quite a long time. The book itself seemed interesting (although I suspected one particular character was on a trajectory I didn't want to see completed). The narration killed it for me. My husband loved the narrator, but I absolutely LOATHED her. Awkward pauses, no variation in voices, every sentence the same intensity... I had to rewind several times just to figure out what this woman was saying. If I ever get my hands on a print copy of this book, I'd be happy to give it another shot. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will stay DNF forever.
