Negative Positive
Title: boring and unimaginative
Review: The characters seemed flat, almost stereotypical. The religious aspect didn't help.The world, based on medieval europe, wasn't imaginatively constructed. This itself isn't so bad, but the lack of imagination seemed to spill over into other parts of the book as well, such as the characters and religion, which were at most variations on various well-known, standard forms.The prose seemed ponderous to me. I also didn't like the foreshadowing aspect.On a normal day I would give the book a 2 as it had a (very) few redeeming qualities, but seeing all the 5's, I have to say "Why?" and give it a 1.
