Title: Boring and Pretentious is a Really Bad Combination
Review: This book reads as if it was written by an inexperienced college girl who is majoring in French and watched "The Story of O" too many times.To start with it's very annoying when fantasy writers are too lazy to create a fantasy world that suits their story. So they just take the map of Europe, muddle up the names of things and write as if they are writing alternative history (which they aren't).Beautiful, boring and smug people engaging in lots of silly mock-sophisticated sex and boring political intrigue. I don't think I can remember any time that an author managed to maintain such consistent shallowness over such a long book.And it seems that there are multiple sequels. I'm stunned.
Is the review positive or negative?
