Title: YACFS -- Yet Another Cliche Fantasy Series
Product review: Perhaps the people raving about this series haven't read any other books in the genera. This book in particular is so predictable, from the get-go, that it's almost to the point of ridicule. The language is florid, yet purely ornamental. The plot is like walking through a road you've walked on many times before - unremarkably boring. The dialog and characters are cookie-cutter fantasy that pervades the genera these days. If you want to see what I mean by what I say above, read your C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Jack Vance, Poul Anderson, heck, even Terry Goodkind for something more modern and contemporary. I just don't see what all the fanfare is about.
