Title: Don't waste your time.
Product review: I cannot stress what a terrible book this is. I felt like I was reading something from a writer's workshop, where the writer was on the right track but was in dire need of a good editor and several more drafts. Newcomb has a handful of interesting *concepts*, but they are poorly thought out and strung together in an excruciatingly immature fashion. Everything is too convenient: Tristan doesn't have the time to take a bath, but he can lounge around and chat while waiting in the hall, and even make a side trip?The characters are stereotypical and weakly drawn: the amorality of the sorceresses is unintentionally comic, the sister's conversion to their ways is not even remotely believable, and the dwarf is but a poor shadow of Martin's Tyrion Lannister.This isn't even worth a mindless read, because it's so poorly written that you'll keep smacking your head with the book. There's so much better fiction to be had out there. Don't waste your time with this one.
