Prophet - Novel (2023) Anyone reading? SPOILERS

[tabaqui]

So, I just finished this novel and...i dunno. It was good; the story was interesting, the premise pretty unique, the characters worth listening to.

But, it seems like it was really hyped and I'm just not feeling the hype. It wasn't THAT great, that ground breaking (at all ground breaking?), that novel. ALSO - here come the
SPOILERS!!!


The main m/m 'ship of the book (the only m/m 'ship of the book) take over 400 pages to get to an actual acknowledgment of their feelings for each other. We get a single kiss and then...fade to black. ARGH. It just annoyed me.

I think the most talked about books tend to generate hype and kinda snowball because they’re more likely to be read by people don’t read very much for leisure. So tired tropes to an avid reader are sometimes (I think maybe even often) groundbreaking, very shiny new things for those readers. There’s nothing wrong with that! Everyone should experience that from media many times in their lives. But for me it means that popular books tend to be pretty average or even blah compared to everything else I’ve read.

That could very well be.
I'd never heard of it until about a month ago, and then a couple people either here or on DW in my feed mentioned it. I googled, read a few things, decided to request it from my library and...eh.
Oh, well.
I'm getting as many books as my library can find in an effort to break out of the cycle of re-reading the same stuff over and over, so that's something, i guess.
