Content didn't bother me, bad story and writing did, Nov 14 2003
By A Customer
First off, sex in books doesn't bother me, neither does language or blood and gore and other gruesome acts of violence. As long as the content of said acts is applicable to the storyline in the book and furthers the story, I am all for it. But the violence in the first two books of the series is written weakly and there are pages upon pages upon pages in these books devoted toward pointless sex. I mean, get as graphic as you want but do it in a page or two and get on with the story. And don't keep throwing it in there every five pages. This series was very poorly written and I do not recommend it at all. The "hero" Damastes is one of the worst "good guys" ever. Not because he isn't that "good" but because his character is so boring and dim-witted. In all fairness to the author, I didn't read the third book so I can't say if the series had a wonderful ending. But unfortunatly I bought all three at the same time and wasted every penny of it. If you have a thing for badly written soft porn and horribly written action sequences, get this series. Otherwise, check out a fantasy series from a more talented author, like George R. R. Martin, J. R. R. Tolkien, Feist, Weiss, J. V. Jones, Kearney, Marco, or any other well received writer. This series stunk.
