You ' re not the only one who ' s not had it grab them . I wasn ' t a fan of Austraeoh either . Only made it a few chapters in before putting it down for good . For me , it was the overblown purple prose that had every indication of being feed through a thesaurus of some kind . It made up 95 % of what was written , and just killed it for me . I hear there ' s a decent story buried in there , but the purple prose being so overblown just kills it for me . <| sep |> Holy hell , I ' m glad you added context because I would not have ever guessed that stuff without context . <| sep |> Would it be strong enough to take the force of impact ? And what ' s the material used for those steely looking grills . How the hell are they bending ?
