  • Can’t remember the name but there’s a novel set in Ireland in the not-too-distant future

    Synopsis implied it had become a surveillance state but didn’t gave up before confirming due to the literal writing style

    I swear every sentence was written in the passive voice (poorly remembered examples):

    “It was made known through the clothes he wore they were sent from the department of security”

    “As she walked outside the smell made Spring’s arrival clear”

    Totally fine normally but do it every single sentence and it becomes a mystery novel where the mystery is what the hell you just read!

    … Or idk, Harry Potter 5 is pretty meandering
