This review is from: The Fallon Blood (Hardcover)

I have read all of the wheel of time books, and RJ places second on my favorite authors list. I had no idea that he even wrote these Fallon books until I happened upon this one. I must say that I have never even had a slight interest in historical fiction, or what actually happened to gain us our independance, but after reading this book I found that it is quite fasinating. This book really helped expand my interests to more than just fantasy novels. I would never have opened it if had not had RJ's name on it.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Ah the struggles of a new author, Jui 12 2002

Par	Dixon Whitley (Albuquerque, New Mexico United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Fallon Blood (Paperback)

Reading this book reminded me of something that Orson Scott Card wrote once about how he bought back the rights to his first novel, just to make sure that no one would go back and reprint it on the merits of his later books. This novel shows the weakness that a new writer brings to a novel. The story is too plot driven, the villians have weak motivation, and the use of point of view was simply baffeling. There were times when I completely lost track of who the point of veiw was following. This novel also shows Jordan's often odd and what I find highly unlikely veiw of how women see the world. And while I could keep this list going, for all of that he managed to write a fairly compelling story. His historical backgroud was interesting, if for nothing else but for the southern bias that it takes.

While there are far to many mistakes to call this a great novel, and any of Jordan's wheel of time novels are far better. This was an entertaining read that can show how much a writer can improve.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Reads like a Bad Romance Novel, Nov. 12 2001

Par Un client

This review is from: Fallon Blood (Paperback)

I was so disappointed with this book. My husband is an avid fan of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series so I decided to read this novel (because I love historical fiction) to see if I liked his writing style. This book was obviously written by a man and it reads more like a bad romance or porn novel, than historical fiction. I had to quit after about 1/3 of the book because I couldn't stand the lack of storyline development and the constant sex. The pages were either filled with extremely boring political accounts(reads like a history book) or extremely immoral behavior. There is sex on almost every page-- it's not romantic or realistic. Nothing leads up to the intimacy described and it is not moving in any way-- the character just has women throwing themselves at him (hence why I said it must be written by a man-- who is living in a fantasy world!!) The characters are shallow and unlikeable and the rest of the story is boring. I threw this book away and don't recommend it to anyone. My husband swears that the Wheel of Time series is written completely different, but now that I've read this (...) I'm not certain I even want to begin the Wheel of Time series.
