Title: Disappointing
Product review: As another reviewer has said, those who loved the Camulod chronicles will be disappointed by this new story. It seems Mr. Whyte couldn't decide if he was writing an alternative history book or a novel, and ended up writing neither. Long pedantic discussions by men of action seem rigged to hammer a particular viewpoint (and hammer, and hammer, and...), and characters who could be explored in an interesting way (in particular Hugh de Payens) are given shallow treatment at best. There is no edge in the story, no grip, and no passion.I was looking forward to reading more of Whyte's work since I so enjoyed the Camulod tales, but this book didn't give me any satisfaction.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
