A review by wmhenrymorris
Lamentation by Ken Scholes

Another excellent entry in to the modern genre of fantasy with many of the hallmarks that the best authors -- Robin Hobb, George R.R. Martin, etc. -- bring (if you read much fantasy you should know what I mean). I love the characters in this novel and it's quite the compelling setting and the plot is rather delightful. And yet, there was a certain slackness of tensions and just the hint of flatness of writing that keeps me from ranking this up with Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet or Robin Hobb's Fool novels. So three and a half stars instead of four.
