Query: deus ex machina used liberally

The ideas are interesting, the writing is passable, but the plotting, oh God the plotting!Someone has got to talk to the author and tell him that it's bad practice to depend on plot gimmics like deus ex machina in practically every single chapter.No matter what happens in the book, no matter what mountain the hero has to climb, some as yet unknown feature of this world appears to save the day, usually manifesting as some hidden magical talent that the hero posseses that he (or anyone else) never knew he possesed and that he somehow masters instantly to save himself and the rest of the world.Sorry, I can't recommend this book. If you want to read good fantasy, read Guy Gavriel Kay or Orson Scott Card.
