I stand corrected but that's the way I see it.
Don't be put off he is very good at what he does, give him a few more tries before you decide (try the Jerusalem Man series) |
Thats why 99% of people who diss DG totaly that i have seen from amazon and other reviews are people that expect him to political,overly complex epic fantasy.
If you want Hardcore,great Heroic Fantasy with less black and white characters then DG is for you. If you are epic fantasy fan only and expect to see slow,1000 pages long epic story about an orphan and his road to become a shining hero that will save the universe then DG is not for you....
