Query: Different Opinions!

After reading the countless glowing reviews this book received and the numerous negative reviews, I felt I had to add my two cents. Rawn is a gifted writer but I found the book could only be described as boring. While new magical methods are introduced the good guy, bad guy, formula got tiring. The lapses in between action was almost unbearable. I did finish the book and move onto the other novels in the series but was unable to finish any of them. The reviewers that claim this is the best book ever written might want to read other Epic Fantasies (Jordan, Tolkein, Herbert) before awarding this book with that title.The extreme difference of opinions contained in the 109 reviews this book received only go to show you the vast range of likes and dislikes the general public can have. Read this book if you have plenty of time on your hand but if you like mature well thought out charaterization try Kay, Jordan or Martin.
