Title: Iron Tree? More like deadwood..
Product review: I must admit that I picked up this book after choosing to ignore the critiques below, which I felt must surely be a little harsh. The scope for an epic, involving fantasy tale seemed intriguing from the book's publicity.Sadly, I can only confirm what others are saying. This writer desperately needs a ruthless front-line editor to excise the deluges of description that completely sink this story. The author clearly lacks the restraint to rein herself in and evidently needs help to do so. Either a decent editor or back to writing classes, I'm afraid, because this material wouldn't pass muster on an average writing workshop.I'd like to be able to say something positive, but I'm afraid I can only sympathize with readers who have spent money to buy this book and also for the unfortunate publishers who appear to have a bomb of a trilogy to market now. One to avoid, I fear.
