Title: A Waste of Trees
Review: I'm a little shocked at the other reviews I'm reading here. This may be the single WORST fantasy book I've ever read, and I've read some lulus. The characters are woefully shallow and unimaginative. The plot is predictable and unbelievable (yes, yes, I know... but I mean even for fantasy). The writing style has all of the polish and elegance of a blow to the head.As far as 'dark fantasy' is concerned, this story seems to attempt a dark atmosphere simply by portraying shocking scenes, and it overdoes it on this front. One becomes accoustomed to it halfway through, and there's nothing else to hold the book up.If you want good dark fantasy, try Glenn Cook's Black Company series. I'm filing this one under 'Trash'.
