| Re: I give in!!
I didn't think it was overly complex, just a bit average. Too many clichés in there (big hounds of shadow, floating mountains, magic system based on a deck of cards, crazy puppet, etc).
The rest of the series got a lot more sophisticated/interesting - a result of the length of time between writing GotM and DhG, I think. A lot of the clichés I disliked in Gardens were given much more interesting or believable footings. |
