A review by itspronouncedtessa
The Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
Sweary spoilery rant:
The man was locked up in a tower for 2500(!) years and he was still wearing his damn shoes every day? Bro lived in a glorified hotel room and decided to just get dressed every day? What, for shits and giggles?
And then, when this lunatic got out, after said 2500 years, people still spoke the same language? Technology had advanced only from bronze to steel weapons? People still told legends from - again - 2500 years ago?
To put this into perspective, Pythagoras was just starting to dick around with triangles 2500 years ago. But sure, in their world, nothing fucking it happened in 2500 years. Sure.
You know where else nothing fucking happens? This fucking story.
I give up
