The Dark Glory War: A Prelude to the Dragoncrown War Cycle by Michael A. Stackpole

1.0

OK - well, this is "exactly what it shows on the tin" - the character with the mask? That is a plot devise throughout this novel. And it is not an interesting one at that. I like the premise behind what the novel was trying to do, but the characters had zero qualities for me to enjoy. Again, I got sucked into a novel that everyone raves about online, but I feel that our standard of what we expect is too low these days, and we will read anything if it has a gimmick or a creature that is cool, or something without actual merit or plot device. I was sorely disappointed in this and look forward to what I can do with the money that I won't be spending on future works of Michael Stackpole.
