Welllll..... I gave a chance,, I really did.. At least several times, but coudn't get far. At page 43 had enough. All I can say:

description


Ok, I hadn't expected very much from this book from the beginning. Fast look at few pages already revealed beginners style writing. I doesn't tell that I am pro at this or something. People have different situations in their life and even beginners can give out great story. This wasn't that case.

Pompous, arrogant introduction not always thing that attracts to book especially if this remind you crappy version of really good bestseller. Gave a chance. Annoying character, scenes full of verbiage. Ok... unnecessary gore, verbiage again, stupid characters that is there to show how superior is one of the heroes of book. He isn't... Verbiage. Grown man's skull that is softer than butter and pierced deeply with dart thrown by kid? Wait what? Does there exist laws of physics, at least some knowledge how things work and have some sense? Writers research? Even fantasy world filled with nonhuman persons have some laws.

Only question that was left - is this book was self published draft without any editors opinion and corrections?

This year resolution was - not to read books that i have to force on myself to continue.
