Negative Positive
Title: Hackneyed
Review: If you don't want anything new from your fantasy reading, this book is for you. You will find ripoffs of many other concepts, including those from D&D and other role playing games, Stephen R. Donaldson's Reavers and all your standard fantasy tropes. Farland is a second or third class writer, unable to match the vision and verbiage of Robert Jordan or the excitement of Terry Goodkind. This book is not worth reading at all in my opinion, but if you don't mind reading the same stuff you find in other novels, at least spare yourself the expense and buy it in paperback. My library doesn't carry it, which should tell you something.
