Title: Blah, blah, blah
Product review: Poorly written, puerile, and formulaic. Within the first page, Martin displays all his weaknesses. Perhaps it gets better as one goes along, but Martin handles exposition so poorly that one becomes tired of his hamhanded efforts to introduce characters and backstory. The world he populates resembles a thinly developed D&D game from 1984, and the characters are the sort of adolescent cartoons that poorly-educated fantasy buffs probably think of as "complex", when they are in fact amorphous blobs of fatal contradiction. A very silly book from an author who knows the gimmick of marketing crudity as subtlety.
