Terry Brooks avoided some of the common mistakes with novels like this, but not all. I don't know why editors let so much slide with repetition. The book should have been 100 pages less than it was. We're not getting paid by the word anymore, Dickens. Brooks vocabulary and descriptions were adequate, as was the story itself. I liked the female protagonist and the classic battle between good and evil (Void and the Word) was redone well enough to keep me interested. So why didn't the book catch me in the way it was supposed to? Maybe I read too much. It felt like a story being written.
3.25/5
