Negative Positive
Title: Interesting, but not outstanding
Review: I picked up this book because it had won the World Fantasy Award, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. The characters are bland, and the story seems a bit pointless. There's almost no excitement or drama, and the end is a let down. Still, the author does attempt to offer something more than the typical quest fare, and for that alone it's interesting. If you're looking for something serious, give it a try. Just don't expect too much from it.
