I've been trying to think of a positive and polite way to review this book. After nearly two weeks, I've finally decided that a simple and short review is best.
I did not like this book.*
There you have it. The shortest review I hope to ever write here. I will not be reading this series anymore and it will likely be a very long time before I pick up another book by this author.
*This review has the exact number of words as the About the Author page at the end of the book. Fitting I think.

This series seems to always be recommended, but it never really looks interesting. I'll take you at your review and move on.
It was a frustrating series (well, two books since I won't be attempting the third). Maybe I've been spoiled by the newer fantasy books out there, maybe my tastes have changed. I think if I had read it when it first came out, I might have enjoyed it. But now? It's like banging your head on a wall. Repeatedly.
I can't recall seeing such a simple, straight forward dislike of this book. Wow, different strokes I guess.
Yes. And after some thought (and prodding), I'll be posting a longer review tomorrow.
To be honest I'm a fan of the FARSEER trilogy. I like Fitz. But we are human beings with different likes and dislikes. In the end everybody has todecide on his own whether he/she likes a book or not.
