The characterization isn't nearly as good, but the world is more interesting and it was almost completely free of A) angsty whinging and B) the plot sequence of Main character has the living shit beat of him. Again. Once more. Near death, he finds a Font of Power and Determination and Wins. (which is fun, but gets old)<BR/><BR/>Basically it was a change from reading about how terribly human and flawed the main character is to reading about how, really, this guy kicks (and gets) some ass. I'm okay with that on occasion. :)JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369815902887884189noreply@blogger.com
