Jonathan Lethem
As the spikily independent Pella becomes an uneasy envoy between two species, Girl in Landscape deftly interweaves themes of exploration and otherness, loss, and sexual awakening.

That said, this is a monotonous and frustrating book that only holds interest in the last 30 minutes. The main characters thoughts and interactions are so frustrating and difficult to empathize with that I at one point about halfway through stopped listening. Only after I finished another book did I come back to it, to not much payoff.
The narration is fine and the world building at least is initially interesting, but after setting up the mechanics of the world the setting becomes monotonous and unchanging. There are multiple threads that are started and never resolved (What happened to the Arch builders ancestors?). While it does in large part take place on an alien world, this can barely be considered scifi, most all of the central conflicts revolve around interpersonal differences that might as well have taken place on a culdesac.
Plodding and difficult to finish.
