Query: I really tried to read it...

I am a huge fan of Carey's Kushiel series so I was more than excited when I picked up Banewreaker. I even launched into several small "Why Jacqueline Carey is great" speeches to friends and family before reading the book. I enjoyed giving the speeches and I am glad to discover that, even after reading this book, I still enjoy Jacquline Carey. If you are looking for a great novel, pick up 'Kushiel's Dart' and leave this one alone.There is just too much, too much happening here for belief. The previous reviews I've read have mentioned how much these books resemble Tolkien and yes, I definitely agree... but there's more. There are no characters to identify with in this book. The plot is predictable and had too much long winded prose. I was really sad to realize about half way through that I was actually bored and didn't care what happened in the rest of the book.So, to sum: Kushiel series, yes. Sundering series, no.
