Title: Don't buy this book
Product review: All I can say is I am glad I borrowed this from the library. The fact that this book was released in hardcover is mind-boggling! To expect a reader to pay that kind of $$ for this garbage is really disgusting. If I could have rated this book 0 stars I would have. Cardboard characters, weak storyline, and a ...-poor world-building effort when compared with the likes of Martin, Kay, Erikson and even the vastly overrated Jordan. I cannot understand why all of the "professional" reviews are so laudatory. I can only surmise that some of them are in the pockets of publishers who need to watch their bottom lines on a big splashy hardcover release like this. You could walk up to the Fantasy section in any library or bookstore, close your eyes, spin 3 times and pick a better book than this one.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
