Title: Just ok
Review: Im pretty forgiving of fantasy, since I read so much there is just not enough out there for me to be too big of a snob. But I just dont really get what people see in this. It just felt flat to me. There was no three dimensional characters that I really believed in. I was never transported by good writing to the stage where you forget they are not real. I always felt like I was reading a book, and a cliche one at that. There was nothing at all unique or memorable about it. The "bad guy" (simon) is just a bad selfish guy- no complexity or understanding as to what really motivates it. The relationship with Llew and his wife seemed kinda wooden- just not great. The writing itself is not terrible but the character and plot developement was just not great. Read only if you are hard up for a new book :)
