Negative Positive
Title: more stupid decisions and plot twists than a bad movie
Review: I love good fantasy. This isn't it. Every character makes unbelievable bad choices at almost every point possible. How can you garner sympathy for any of them? During the climatic battle the ruthless ruler (Eugene) cries like a schoolgirl when his no-longer-necessary protege Jaromir gets killed in yet another unbelievable sequence of stupid mistakes. Sarah Ash doesn't know how to write about male characters, that's certain. She should put her next fantasy novel in a world entirely peopled with females. I am destroying my copy of this book to ensure that none of my daughters stumble on to it and waste their time.
