Oh gee, I did not like this one very much. The premise and first 2-3 chapters were really interesting. A man wakes up with amnesia and has to learn/remember things on the fly because there are people out to get him. But the writing lacked depth. Everything just kind of <i>happened</i>, and so suddenly. I guess there is a real reason fantasy books should be long... Maybe the books get better as they go (this is the first in a series of 10 books), or maybe they should be read as a compendium, as I've seen sold in the past. I don't think I'll be continuing this series, however. I really did enjoy bits and pieces of this older fantasy, though. It definitely had an appealing retro feel to it.
