Title: Good designer - bad author
Review: Ed Greenwood's books tend to show that a good game designer does not necessarily make a good author.Spellfire is a lackluster story. The characterizations are cliche as is much of the dialogue.The worst part of Greenwood's stories are his use of sex. Every scene should support the story. Greenwood inserts sex scenes that have no logical basis. People seem to drop their clothes for no reason. It seems to substantiate the premise that fantasy readers are just oversexed geeks.Contrast this with Simon Hawke's Iron Throne where a sex scene is used to further the plot by creating emotional conflicts and motivations for characters. Greenwood could use a lesson from Hawke.
