I had to check out Deathless about six times from the library, but I finally finished it.

It’s amazingly well-written… but that’s about all I can say. The best parts have already been excerpted and passed around the internet. Deathless is all about the language; I couldn’t really connect with the characters.

Also, another example of a book (partially) set during the Seige of Leningrad where I love the language and am interested in the place but I can’t connect to the characters.

It very definitely does for me. Often in terms of intensifying reactions that already existed.
