Negative Positive
Title: It's a good book.
Review: I am constantly amazed by those in the world who believe that everything has to be new and controversial. I love fantasy series and have read all of Tolkein, Brooks, McKiernan, and even Jordan (end the series Robert!!). I read the books because they are entertaining. Do I know what is going to happen? Yes. Is there going to be a completely new twist on the idea? Probably not in this genre, although the Runelords (David Farland) and Witch series (James Clemens) come close. It's rare.This book has a hero, villain, troubling times, and a noble goal of protecting the helpless. The fate of the world relies on the shoulders of a reluctant hero. What else do you want? It is written well. You can read it easily and although there are a lot of characters, it is easy to keep track of them.For people who are looking for an enjoyable read, pick this up. For people who are looking for an Earth-shattering revelation into the fantasy world, get a life.
