  • Blessings Of A Curse - Metric Promotional Edition - Book One of The Nexus Of Kellaran Trilogy on Jan. 13, 2014

    The basic idea seems good, but the execution is... lacking. The main character is an overdone marty stu (male mary sue). Whereas most fairy tales end with the hero getting "the princess and half the kingdom" , this tale starts with that, without the hero really having done anything at all to earn it. It showed no signs that things were going to stop simply falling into the protagonist's lap. I certainly prefer reading of heroes that struggle a mite more. I pressed on till about 1/3 into the book, hoping it would pick up, but had to put it down concluding I was wasting my time. What I read was like a munchkin character in a rpg with a monty haul DM.
