Title: Terrible Cliche Fantasy
Product review: This book begins with a nice flair and moves at very quick pace until you arrive at 100-130 pages which reads much like an horror novel if anything before it unfortunately digresses into your garden variety fantasy fodder. No where near the works of great fantasy writers such as Hobb, Martin, and Tolkien. No comparision! First-off book contains very thin history- or world-building. An important aspect that great writers like Martin and Tolkien went to great pains to create. That's a big substantial zero in my book. Despite lacking this substance the novel also descends into shallow and unorginal clichedom, it reads too familiar. I am not going to pick up the second book.
