Negative Positive
Title: Ok, but overhyped
Review: I must be missing something. I was not too much of a Meghan Lindholm fan before she became Robin Hobb, but I must admit I really enjoyed the Farseer books. There is a forced quality to the writing here that does not appeal to me, however. The characterizations lack depth and humanity--I'm sorry--I don't see it. Perhaps it is so wrapped up in the extremes of the fantasy.I am also annoyed that this book did not tie in to the first volume the way it should have.
Is the review positive or negative?
