Title: EXTRAORDINARILY BORING AND SLOW , VIRTUALLY NOTHING HAPPENS
Review: This book is 800 pages long. I wonder if the writers were paid by the page and/or by the number of words. The only thing that actually "happens" in the book, covering at most, 50 pages, is two battles in the beginning between Arcana and Sharona. Arcana is a very advanced society based on magic. Sharona is technological, but for some unknown reason, is only at a steam powered level of technology. I don't understand why Sharona could not have had a 20th century level of technology. The balance of the book is basically 750 pages of conversations between the characters and some political manipulations. There is such a thing as having too much characterization. It was very difficult not to nod off during this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
