Sometimes, you find books that are good books, and you notice how they are good books, and you like the parts that make them good books, but you don't like them. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is such a book for me. It's not the characters β they are vivid, and real, and neither horrible nor brilliant people. It's not the plot β the story wanders a bit, and is mostly slice-of-apocalyptic-life, but it's a good story. It's not the writing β the language is precise and beautiful and conjures up images and feelings in your mind.
