#by all accounts i think i should have liked it?#and certainly it wasnt bad (it was no beowulf for cretins)#but it was just so...#okay im sorry if you liked it but#it was so up its own ass i could barely get through it#for a story that is literally just two characters talking to each other it had shockingly little characterization#theyre literally fucking clones of each other like the authors just wanted to wax poetic for 200 pages and forgot to actually write a story#its a novella at best and i think it would have benefitted from being an actual novel#and from being written in a completely different style because this just. it didnt work. its supposed to be a character driven piece#but because you spend so little time with the characters actually doing anything you never *actually* get to know them#like the story keeps telling you that one works hard and fast and the other works slow and thorough#but they never actually do anything that communicates that in a meaningful way?#so instead theyre both just hypercompetent english majors who kill people#anyway thats all i have to say about that
