Review: Entertaining but missing something

This was a fun story.  The author clearly had a sense of humor and was trying to write a tongue-in-cheek fantasy story.  Cliches abound as he pulled from many well-known myths and tales to compose the world and the characters.But that same attention let down the story.  I ended up feeling that too much attention was paid on coming up wiht the cliches and not enough on weaving a truly enjoyable story.the characters end up extremely limited in character and scope.  None gets enough time to develop into a fully fleshed and breathing entity.  I found a few to have great potential only for the potental to be ignored as the story kept to its extremely limiting script.For lovers of slightly humorour fantasy, this will not be a bad read, but it pales against the better humorous fiction stories that allow their characters to be more than just words on a page.
