Title: What a let-down.
Review: The pros: There's a genuinely touching moment with James and Ghanima that takes place near the end of the Battle of Kronder. A wonderful piece of writing in that scene, certainly rare to see in a genre author, and one that seriously brought tears to my eyes.The cons: The rest of the book stinks.I can't believe Feist is the same author who gave us rounded, thoughtfully-developed characters in the Riftwar series.This thing is just a collection of dully-written action scenes separated by occasional conversations between characters who apparently all suffered from a personality-killing disease sometime after Rise of a Merchant Prince took place. You get the sense that Feist just wanted to get this book over with as quickly as possible.Worst of all, these isn't even a real resolution. You have the requisite Big Fight at the end, and then we're left hanging.Oh well, I guess even best-selling authors still have to make a living.
