Station Eleven
Written by: Emily St. John Mandel
Narrated by: Kirsten Potter
A character study of a broken world. But not a story of any of its characters. Station eleven is in dire need of editing, with its majority of time spent on secondary characters.
At times, sub-arcs are compelling. But then the story changes character, timeline, and meanders of course again. Even the framing vehicle feels tacked on.
Read instead the superior The Passage (referenced within this book) and The Night Circus.
Recommendation: Don't read. You've got better books on your wish list.
