Title: No better than the first, there was no grab
Product review: I didn't mind the first book of the series too much, I thought it was mildly entertaining and the characters were just like the "ultimate PC" in any Dark Sun setting, but that was about all it had.I made my way through the first 1/4 of the book and the writing style remained the same as The Verdant Passage. Still too wordy and self-indulgent and the characters were still pretty stiff and hollow and the flow of the plot was still jerky and fueled by battles.Nothing captured my attention in this book, so I gave up. I moved on to the Dragon Prince series by Melanie Rawn, a story- and character-driven series.If you like long written battle scenes and don't mind stereotypical super-characters, I would recommend this series. Or if you just want to read a tounge-in-cheek unwitting parody of RPG players.
