A review by mr_bunkers
Curse of the Mistwraith by Janny Wurts

2.5

2.5 stars. The story is engaging and gets better with future books, but the writing is appalling. Having just finished Hilary Mantel's superlative Cromwell trilogy it was painful having to wade through the torrent of superfluous adjectives and adverbs, not to mention Wurts' overuse of passive tense and relentless 'tell-not-show'. If only she could have got Raymond E Feist to collaborate again, these books would be real fantasy classics.
