The Breath of the Sun

This was a beautifully written book, but I couldn't get into it. It's about a female mountain climber on a planet where the Sublime Mount is so tall it can be seen almost anywhere on the planet. Many religions revere it as the body of God, and ascending is like trying to see the face of God, although none but the great prophet Asam has ever made it to the top. All the parts were there, great prose, characterization, and plot. But for some reason, it didn't add up to a satisfying whole. It won the Lambda Literary Award in 2019 for SF/Fantasy/Horror and has received a lot of love in reviews on the internet.
