I'm not reading that one. Even The Book of Lost Things has characters you can sympathize with/relate to and some hope.

Meanwhile, I am on a role with female-written SF/Fantasy. I am reading The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemison. It is really good so far (30% in).

As I mentions, I really enjoyed To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis and Rachel Caine's "Great Library" series (2 so far, more to come).
