![]() ![]() The issue for me is that the author seems to have only one or two plot devices in her toolbox. Or, I guess may said differently, there are a lot of fantasy novels out there and a lot of them are better than this, so why read this one? But I read it, and I'm not worse off for having done so. Part Lord of the Rings (with it's epic quest and bumbling, doofy anti-hero main character) part Norse folk novel, it just seems kinda amateurish to me. I would go so far as to say I don't know what this book is trying to be. Second, this isn't a bad book, it just wasn't for me, nor is this particular style of fantasy fiction really my bag. ![]() I'd never heard of the author or (apparently) series it belongs to and based on this book, would not seek out the author or other titles in this series. Okay, disclaimer first - I got this book in a ten-book grab bag of sci-fi/fantasy novels from a used book store for five dollars. ![]()
