Title: Fantasy is dead.
Review: It only took 30 pages to realize this novel was going to be yet another tired imitation of the fantasy quest formula. The 600+ pages that followed simply supported that realization. Some reviewers have stated "yes, it was cliched but it had some twists!" A. No, it really didn't. B. Even with "twists" it is a tired, unoriginal story filled with laughably wooden archetypical characters that it is difficult to give a fig about.
