Negative Positive
Title: Stopped Reading
Review: I loved the first 2 1/2 books of the series. Character development is an important part of the book to me. I tore through the first 2 books and thought I had found another wheel of time type of series. Now it seems, anyone I was "rooting" for in the series is dead. I honestly stopped reading it. Have no intention of going back. This may be what other reviewers are calling not the usual fantasy. I personally like the standard fare it would seem. You know, where there are people in the story you have read about for a thousand or so pages actually live and overcome the obstacles put in their path.The world and politics were well played through the first 2+ books. That earned an additional star.One thing this does seem to have in common with the wheel of time is an excellent story could have been told in 3 books. This series (I understand) is supposed to be 7 in length.
Is the review positive or negative?
