Title: Overwhelmingly dull fantasy.
Product review: Bishop populates her world with uninteresting, interchangeable characters (with contrived names like Saetan, Lucivar, and Daemon), and treads water with them for the first three quarters of the book. By the time anything interesting does happen - in about the last 100 pages - it is certainly not worth the wait. Even more frustrating is her habit of alluding to things the characters know well, but never explains to the reader. I lost count of the number of passages that left me wondering what had just happened after I'd read them, and felt like I was reading a later volume rather than the first of a new trilogy.
