Title: Not chosen by me
Review: I was seduced by the cover art and blurb to start reading vol. I of this series. Having gotten two thirds through volume one I had to stop reading, overwhelmed by the images of bloodshed and torture. I have been reading science fiction and fantasy for over 40 years now and have often encountered the theme of the young man, naive and moral, who is thrust into a decadent society. Observing the often exotic customs of such a society is often as much fun as watching as the hero learns through suffering how to deal with and often overthrow this corrupt society. However, in this work the descriptions of wholesale killings, blindings and crucifixions in time overwhelm any interest that the plot might hold. One has the sense from these detailed descriptions that the author is overly fascinated by the sadistic elements of this tale to the detriment of the story he is attempting to tell.
