Title: Tandia reads like cheap fan fiction.
Product review: The Power of One was a compelling and visceral tale and a hard act to follow. Tandia doesn't live up to it. Do not buy this book it is a disappointing read. The writing style of the books are so different, almost as if they were written by two different authors. Power of One takes it's time, letting the story breathe and build slowly. Tandia tries and fails to cram too many plot lines and unimportant characters into 900 overly dense pages. At times the book seems like a cheap romance novel as it focuses at length on the tawdry details of the characters' sexual histories. This book could have been every bit as good as Power of One if Courtenay had elected to edit it down to half it's length.
