A poorly-told pointless tale
25 July 2000
Format:Paperback
A half-dozen characters gradually join together, sort of, and an enormous amount of space is wasted on backchat, while the central action gets slighted. The only real drama comes from scenes of burned out massacred villages, as if the author must keep our interest by evoking real historical horrors, because otherwise the book's contents are so uninteresting. I like fantasy tales, but to work they require storytelling skill, a sense of action and direction which this book lacks.

Badly written and unoriginal
28 Sep 1999
Format:Paperback
This book was painful to read. Important events are just sketched in and force the reader to pay close attention, lest he miss something significant, but the obvious is overexplained. No new twists are added to a fairly standard tale. The reader ends up working hard to wring a story out of the text, only to find it wasn't worth the effort.

Mediocre
2 July 1999
Format:Paperback
Typical, generic fantasy. The whole plot, setting and characters sound vaguely familiar, so unoriginal are they. I'd have to say the best thing about the book would definitely be the awesome cover. If you're really bored, it's worth a read, but otherwise, don't bother. This book taught me (once again) that judging books by their covers doesn't work.
