I've been reading The Unbroken by C.L. Clark. It's well written and I like the worldbuilding, but it's a bit of a slog because I'm having hard time actually liking any of the main characters.

I looked this one up, seems like others agree with you, but apparently it picks up soon?

Loveable characters? It's complicated: 49% | Yes: 36% | No: 14%

I'm curious what gives a book a lgbtqia+ tag though...

Strong female characters and romance between them

The story pacing definitely picks up after the first half, but it's hard to care about the faith of the characters when you're constantly annoyed by their decisions :)

The world building, culture etc is very much on point though.
