review 1: This isn't so much a review as a comment, which I feel I should add as I've classified this book as one I've attempted.I usually know if I'm going to like a book in the first few pages: I read the introduction to The Mirror Empire but it didn't capture my interest. Yes, that's somewhat unfair, I do admit, but I've got a very long to-read list as it is and feel that I can afford to be picky given the abundance of top-notch fantasy novels these days.
review 2: This was one of the most laborious reads I've had in a long time. The story itself, or the idea of it, is completely brilliant. But the way it is written falls completely short. The author seems to have wanted to go the route of such sagas as A Song of Ice and Fire but did not have a very good concept as to... more how to deal with multiple character viewpoints. There is no character development, even less background on them, and no reason for the reader to care about them. The descriptions are thorough but very redundant in the vocabulary used during the scenes. less
