Is it just me, or is Raymond E. Feists' latest book absolutely, horrendously shit?
Following on from Into a Dark Realm and Flight of the Nighthawks, I'm really very disappointed.
All of a sudden, halfway through a chapter we're introduced to this character called Jimmy who's the most perfect everything to ever have graced that plane of reality, and possibly the Universe. But we're barely given any back story, you can't like or feel for him because he's so hollow and one doesn't know anything about him.
The past two books most of the focus has been on Jommy, Tad and Zane and I really liked that because it had this "boys-own" element to it, but now all of a sudden they've almost been completely written out of it and there doesn't appear to be a point in them having ever been included in the series.
Much like Talwin Hawkins was just all of a sudden written out of it, even though he was one of the most enjoyable characters in the series.
