Re: Disappointing books - what is yours?

God, yes, Elizabeth Bear. Her writing seems to me to be very much an example of a movement within speculative fiction right now, except that she has pretty much all the flaws of the style and really, none of the strengths. I wouldn't say pretentious and trying to be smart so much as trying to be literary and consciously trying to elevate the quality of speculative fiction and ending up with books that, to me, don't hang together, and feel broken, and not in an intentional way. They don't work as books. I just don't get it but then there's a lot of things I don't get.
