Title: As bad as the worst role-playing game scenarios
Review: It really does read like some ill-conceived fantasy role-playing game. Statistical approaches to abilities, freakish monsters and heroes. Dull, dull stuff.Reviewers seem to be in awe of the "originality" of the magic system. Geez, easily impressed, aren't we? An original magic system is neat for those weekend dungeons and dragons campaigns between junior high students but doesn't impres me in a novel. Try writing with depth and skill, now there's something you don't see on the fantasy shelves these days.I'd rather eat broken glass than read this slop.
