Title: overly belabored writing, predictable characters/development
Product review: That just about sums it up. I'd rather read other equally (if not more) verbose writers such as Tad Williams and Stephen R. Donaldson. After half of "Curse of the Mistwraith," I started skimming to get the gist of the action rather than be bogged down by the language. I find the word "inveigle" especially annoying now, after so many uses of it -- spoken by the characters, no less!Usually I follow the good fantasy/sci-fi series (like her collaborations with Feist) to the bitter end, but this one just has not been worth the time or money -- if you really want to check it out, get it from your library instead, if you can find it. We all know what's going to happen in the end, and I find myself not caring how it gets there in the next 5 or 6 books that the author promises.
