Re: OOC: Pregame
Here is what the least favorable Amazon review said:
Based on it, I suggest that an index and, perhaps, a chronology be appended (if they aren't). Note that this "least favorable" is still favorable.
This review is from: Islands of Loar: Sundered (Kindle Edition)
Like most epic fantasies, readers will find themselves in a well thought out world with plenty of magical objects and characters of many different types...aeromancers, elves, humans, etc. Along with other dangerous creatures. The writing is very polished and the description detailed. Overall, it's very well written.
This is not a light read by any means. I found that I had to often re-read chapters in an effort to keep track of everything. Part of the reason for this is that the world building is very complex and interesting. The second reason is there are numerous characters. Doogan sort of stands out as the main character, but a lot of chapters are devoted to other characters as well. He was my favorite character in the story. I liked his independent attitude and determination.
I found the prologue and first chapter to be hookish with a good amount of conflict. After these, I found the conflict very light and the plot vague. Because several chapters start with a new character, I found it hard to connect with any of them or even remember them all without studying. Overall, I would've liked to see a lot more conflict, suspense, less characters and more time spent with the main characters, which I think were Doogan and Muskrat.
I think this book will appeal to readers who are big on epic fantasy and world building.
