Mining the Depths
I'll read almost anything and love what captures my imagination. Best of all is responding to books in the larger cultural sense, loving or loathsome. Literature should have a place in the wider world.
And I'm another GoodReads refugee.
I confess, though I think I read a little further than the status bar, I had to give up. The plot is original and I did like the world-building. But I had some issues with what tvtropes calls 'unfortunate implications' that seemed to be developing, like fat people=evil (or at least shallow and unprincipled).But for a self-published novel, this is probably on the high end. I would recommend a good developmental editor, though, for the rest of the series, like the awkward POV switching, and a tighter focus on the story.
