The Forging of the Shadows: Book One of The Lightbringer Trilogy by Oliver Johnson

1.0

I tried, I really did. But I just couldn't keep reading this book. The plot was reasonable and had some slightly interesting points, but I couldn't get past the prose. I'm not sure what this author is doing that doesn't work for me, but I could not finish this book. His characters felt fine, no more shallow or two dimentional than any other fantasy novel. I think that the problem may be that he spent too much time telling, not showing, and there was too much explanation of perfectly obvous things. I guess I felt like he was writing down to me.
