Negative Positive
Title: Very tedious and disappointing
Review: This story is even more plodding and repetitious than the previous Donaldson books. However with this story there is no compelling reason to overlook Donaldson's need to increase word counts. A story is lacking, the characters are dull reincarnations of other characters. The only real interest in this book is the character Anele.The story and the journey twist in meaningless tangles. Occasionally there is a glimpse of the work of a master story teller, but those glimpses are too few.The book feels very much like it was propelled by accountants checking off pages, events and features, rather than an artist striving to create.For engaging entertainment it would be far better to re-read the original Chronicles and leave this sad work alone.
