Curse of the Mistwraith by Janny Wurts
2.0
After finishing Erikson’s Malazan series I’ve been looking for an epic fantasy to immerse myself in. This one started out promising, it has all the ingredients of a good old epic: prophecies, lost princes, an ancient evil to be combatted, whimsy but brilliant and powerful mages with long beards, magic swords, a willful young sorceress, armies in shining armor, highland barbarians, travelling bards, conflict, magic, forbidden romance, honor, tragedy…
What it doesn’t have is believable and interesting characters that I came to care about. It does, on the other hand have the least comprehensible and most boring magic system I’ve ever encountered.
Too bad, this could have been great, but I’m going to get off this train at the first stop.
