I'm reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik and like 40% of it is exquisitely described, phantasmagorical scenery, jewelry, clothes, etc. Terrible book to read if you don't have much of a visual imagination, therefore. I'm sorry, Naomi, this is wasted on me. It must have been so much work to think it up all and create this atmosphere and it's just going in one eyeball and out the other.
For someone with vivid visual imagination reading "going in one eyeball and out the other" was a dreadful experience.
