Title: Good, needs better pacing and character development
Product review: The book certainly packs a lot of action into short amount of space. I would have prefered to see a slightly slower pace to allow the characters to develop a bit more fully and give the reader a chance to digest the information and appreciate the implications of the storyline. The pacing reminded me of many of todays action movies ... plenty of bang, bang, bang with little time to breath. It seems geared more towards an MTV type audience.... those with a limited attention span and need for constant stimulation. I tend to like the more restrained pacing of Tolkien and Jordan (although Jordan is getting carried away with his tedious/repetitive narrative and plot development). Overall though the story is good and has some interesting twists. A map of the region would have been helpful. I am looking forward to reading the second book.
