2015 book: Chaos Station
Chaos Station by Kelly Jensen and Jenn Burke
Rating: Disliked (Hated-Disliked-Okay-Liked-Loved)
Book received free for review from Carina Press.
Usually when I accept a book for review, even if it doesn't work for me I try to get to at least the 50% point to give it a fair chance. Unfortunately Chaos Station was so full of editing and formatting issues, I couldn't get nearly that far.
The very first paragraph had an editing issue (words run together), and every page after that had at least one error or issue. I very quickly stopped being able to read the story and itched to edit it instead.
Looking over the sample chapter on Amazon, it looks like the errors don't appear in the final copy, so I'm happy for that (and it's the reason I gave it a 'disliked' rating instead of 'hated').
I'm not counting Chaos Station towards my 50 book goal, as I didn't reach at least the halfway point.
Reading next: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson.
