Title: boring
Product review: This book is BORING! I finished it out of my own stubborness but for the last half of the book I was just scanning through to see what happens. As stated by others Lord Dunsay writes good prose but he does little else. The story is stupid and the characters are one-dimensional. And the elegant prose can get irritating because much of it is just repeated over and over and over some more. For example, his description of Elfland is poetic - the first time you hear it! but every few chapters he has to repeat it (and it is a page long description). Anyone who says they enjoyed this book is just trying to be impressive and show that they can read 'high-level' fantasy. I am not sure if the other works of Dunsay will be any better but I suspect that his short stories might have a better chance since he would not run out of material and have to repeat himself.Better books to read : Dark Tower series, Silmarillion, Lyonesse series by Jack Vance.
