Title: Fantasy? Maybe technically.
Product review: I read this book followed by the second and about half of the third (before being too revolted to continue) and I have to say I'm surprised by the rave reviews. This isn't a fantasy book, its more akin to horror than anything else. The series became predictable in its own way. A disaster will happen. Every character will end up mangled, mauled, and mistreated without fail. Just like the hero that always saves the day, in this series, life will always get worse. Maybe this book is popular because gore, violence, and sex have become so popular in the modern world. I don't know. As for me though, since attempting to read this series, I haven't picked up a single new fantasy book. I used to like fantasy, but if this is "good" fantasy, then I'd rather stick to something more cheerful, like cyberpunk.
