Query: Like Reading Swiss Cheese

I'll admit that I hoped that the book was as good as the cover. It was slow goings, but I hoped that this was just a pressure build/ world build into something great. It ended up being a bad potpourri of ideas that left me unimpressed. In fact the end of this book has become a joke among my reading group to indicate a bad book.There were quite a number of plot issues; the main character suddenly being homosexual (I don't car if he is, but not out of the blue), unneeded politics and to much twisted minds. I really wanted this to be something grand; like Robin Hobb, Carol Berg, or CS Friedman, but no. I couldn't even get through book two.This series is like reading Swiss Cheese - all holes no substanceI gave it two stars because it had so much potential.
