Title: Not the Williams I expected
Review: Having read Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogies and Martin's Song of Fire and Ice, I expected better of Mr. Williams. I am a huge fan of his and every book I had read until now was a milestone for me in every type of fiction. His fantasy and science fiction were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed The War of the Flowers. Here, it seems he has lost his way. There is not enough character development and the little there is reads like young adult fantasy. I believed Mr. Williams would once again take the notch further up, if not completely outside the box. And if we are supposed to stick with it and see what happens later, well, I must admit that I no longer have the patience for this when book prices are what they are. I don't want a 600+ page prologue. Thanks but no thanks. Maybe next time.
