Review title: Are we reading the same book?
Product review: This is a truly awful author, someone with a misogynistic bent and a real lack of imagination. The book is boring and the characters are the most one dimensional I have seen in this genre; given that fantasy is notorious for flat characters, that says a lot. Tristan has to be the most pathetic hero in literature. All those "mosts" make it seem as if there is at least something spectacular in the badness of the book, but even that would be an overstatement. It's time to retire this terrible series, begun with the banner headline "the fantasy novel of the year."
