It's pretty standard high fantasy--DWJ would have a field day with her Guide--done competently but unexcitedly. But, the kiss of death for me, it ends smack-dab in the middle of the action. No warning, except that I could see I was at 98% on my Kindle and there was no way it could even reach a slight pausing point in the remaining 2%. I HATE it when authors do this. And the author discarded the only interesting character, a woman, from the story near the end after she had fulfilled her function, I presume because only a young male could be the hero? Not happy I had to buy it for this book chat... ( ) no reviews | add a review
