Garbage genre fic

dfw would have read this book and hated himself for writing esoteric literary/genre fiction that is attempting to communicate similar things i.e. humanity but doing so in a way that is inaccessible and meant to exclude by nature of the genre, something he felt books like this didn't have and were better for imo

I'm halfway through the book now. Is it just the same throughout or what? I feel like there's no tension and when something cool happens, it's often ignored or written away, a la Kaladin losing his right arm and gaining it back in a few paragraphs.

Honestly this was one of my main complaints about the book. I can assure you, all the tension that's held from you rushes in at the ending chapters but it makes the first three quarters boring.
