Title: Deeply disappointed
Product review: Having enjoyed the Bitterbynde trilogy - ornate and flowery though the language was, the trilogy had a fresh take on an old story - I quickly rushed out and bought the Iron Tree in hardcover.And quickly regretted it. The plot is unconvincing and the incredibly capable wise young protagonist is challenged by little that life throws at him. He lacks the 'flaw' a good character has to have to engage the reader's interest; heck he even has a charm that prevents all harm from touching him. No room for a character to evolve here! Ultimately, after having read about three quarters of the book on auto-pilot, I stopped and returned the book to my bookstore.If you are hankering for your fantasy fix, and MUST read this, wait till it comes out in paperback.
