I'm not sure it's fair to mark this as 'abandoned' when I only read a few pages in the first place. Normally I wouldn't even consider that 'begun.' But I thought I should at least mention why I quit so early.
It's all because of the dialect in combination with the world-building. It usually takes some concentration to comprehend a new world, but when that world is introduced in a dialect that you can barely understand... it's rough. The first few pages were such hard work for me to decipher and I just don't feel like toiling over a book so much.

Agree--I don't enjoy the voice 'in dialect.' I ended up putting this one down too, but I think more because of the YA feel.

Sometimes I wonder if I should have persevered more, so I'm glad to hear what you thought about it.
