Review title: Too much the whining anti-hero
Product review: I read this series when it first arrived on bookshelves at the suggestion of some well respected book reviewers. While it was imaginative and certainly well written, I really could barely stomach the constant whining and under-achieving of the main character. In the genre of heroic fantasy you expect the lead figures to step up to the plate more often than just once at the end of the novel after almost everyone around them has suffered enormously. If you want to read a good anti-hero, I'd suggest giving this one a miss and read Moorcock's 'Elric' series. Far faster paced and a challenged character that actually makes an effort, which to me is far more entertaining.
