This book is truly remarkable. I'm not sure whether to give this to a scientist to dissect or a priest to exorcise. I have never seen a book so ungodly boring. It seems like the author wrote too much and it seriously wreaks havoc with the book. Most of the dialogue is exposition with a little character building shoved in wherever it would fit. From the situations that occur and the way they're handled most of the characters come off badly, with few redeeming qualities, and as awfully boring. I can't even remember their names.  As for the plot, what little of it there is revolves around a curse placed on the children of 2 families to cause conflict and a war, thus removing any responsibility the "good guys" might have in that horrendous affair. However most of the plot is shoved aside for world building, and while that may be fun for a bit, it gets old real fast. Another thing the more I learn about this world the less I want to read on, It is that unpleasant. There is nothing charming, magical or even realistic about it. This is by far the worst book I've ever read and the only barely redeemable thing about it is the opening. If I could give this zero stars I would. I'm sure this could be used as a form of torture in some circles of hell.
