Review: Could not even get started
Rating: 1 out of 5

After reading the first chapter and a few pages of the second, I just finally gave up on this title. I felt the descriptions were explaining and telling me about the characters, world background, etc., rather than just describing and letting me put the pieces together. The dialogue was very 'modern' and cliche and did not seem to flow.I frequently browse through Amazon's top 100 kindle lists (especially epic fantasy) to find titles that are free and highly-rated. This was one of those titles one day. I also found the second book for free, so I was excited to try this world for a few weeks while reading the whole duology. When I find the titles free, I'm usually pretty forgiving of typos, flawed descriptions, etc. as long as they're not in the way of a good story. I try to help the author by leaving good (but always honest) reviews, and alert them to any typos or editing errors. However, this book was nearly painful to read and I gave up.You may have better luck; it does have some excellent reviews. I would definitely try a sample chapter or pick it up free before you commit any cash, though.
