Book Reviews of The Fall of The Kings
Book Review: Disappointing...
Summary: 1 Stars
While there was plenty in Swordspoint and in Privilege Of The Sword that I didn't love, at least the books were well-written, relatively straight-forward in plot (plenty of twists, but plots that actually made sense overall) and the characters were developed enough to keep one intrigued. Not so this book. It's radically different than the first two in context, theme, and plot development. I can honestly say that I labored through this book, determined to finish it and see how the authors wrapped it up, and I consider the entire unpleasant effort a waste of my time. Boring, overly pedantic and tiresome, this book finishes with a truly awful ending, wherein nothing is resolved and the entire plot is shelved, awaiting a presumed next installment in the series which I have no desire to read. I actively despised most of the characters, found the sexual references ridiculous and unbelieveable, and the book was WAY too long - by the end, I couldn't wait to put it down, and was a bit disappointed that more of the main characters weren't killed off because they certainly were not worth saving. Spare yourself and skip this book.
