Title: sugared honey gone bad
Product review: Flamewars out of the way for a second, here's my honest review. This book was exactly like this: take a pint of honey, add a few tablespoons of sugar, and then let it sit in the hot summer sun for about a month and then drink it all down at once.The tone, the author's voice, the various cliche phrases are all so saccharine that it makes you sick to your stomach. It tries real hard to be gritty in some places, but those places are just lifted from every other story and then watered down. Even fantasy stories should have something to relate to real life, real human emotions. This doesn't at all. It just kind of plods along, saccharine cliche after saccharine cliche.And, sorry, but I have to add like everyone else that the characterization was totally flat.And, yes, ripped off of Legend of Zelda.
