The Barrow by Mark Smylie

Did not finish book.

Setting aside just after 10% in. This book is dense with details - lavish descriptions of the heroes and their caparisons that made Mr Dee ask if this was a romance, endless travel particulars, and when I decided I'd had enough it had just gone on for multiple pages about the many and varied whores available and their relative charms. Just too much stuff, and too much of it quite generic fantasy. Plus the single female character so far is most developed in her sexual insecurities.
