A review by karireads
Spine of the Dragon by Kevin J. Anderson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
I feel like I should be really enjoying this. It's exactly my sort of thing. Rich world building. Complex plot. But...
I find myself looking at it the same way I did Wheel of Time: Is anything ever going to happen?
I suppose I would be more forgiving if the characters were engaging, but other than Empra Iluris I find them more outlines than characters. Good king, evil priest, devoted brother, and not much beyond that. More time with Iluris would be interesting, but not enough to keep pushing through.
