frogggirl2's review against another edition
dark
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
2.5
I dislike the purposefully uneven, stilted writing style. When you drop me into a fight scene without introducing the character or setting up the scene, I don't care about the fight. Insufficient world building throughout - including what fantasy terms mean. Insufficient characterization - only the main character is at all fleshed out. Since I'm given no reason to care about most characters, these endless fight scenes are just interminable. 50 pages of letters at the end don't fit with the rest of the book and aren't really necessary. Overall, a tedious, grim, slow slog of a reading experience.
