tykewriter 's review for:
The High Druid's Blade
by Terry Brooks
Though I'd heard the name, I'd never read any of Terry Brooks' work before, so I had no idea what to expect when I began reading this novel.
Despite my lack of familiarity, however, what I discovered surprised me -- not in a good way, I'm afraid.
While I can't in honesty describe The High Druid's Blade as a bad novel -- it was competently written, neatly plotted, and tied together nicely -- it didn't spark any enthusiasm.
It felt lifeless, the characters didn't really reach out to me, like it was going through the motions, and I found it quite pedestrian. It didn't quite bore me -- I finished it, after all -- but it failed to enthral me.
I certainly wasn't expecting that.
