Wind of Honor

Insert standard boilerplate to describe mass-market fantasy paperback novels here.

The above phrase sums up my view of Wind of Honor nicely. in a word it's bland. Incredibly bland.
I kept reading to find out if there was a reason why I should care, but at the end of the book the only feeling I was left with was "Well, there's a few hours I'm neer going to get back..."

It's that bland, there is a narrative in there somewhere, but basically you just go meh.

In a way, much as I hate Wind of War, I don't know if this isn't worse. At least I can mock Wind of War endlessly. Wind of Honor is just as big a waste of paper, but doesn't even manages to increase my blood pressure.

My doctor might be happier with that, but it is definitely less cathartic.

I guess The Unicorn needed company.

Speaking of Wind of War, it will be the next book I'm going to review. Expect a lot of wailing and snark...

    I stayed away from that series of books because I'd heard that they were exactly that. "meh."

    Also, you've used the word 'worst' incorrectly a few times in your blog (i.e. "...,I don't know if this is worst."). The word you want to use is 'worse'.

    Thanks, english isn't my first language altough that is a very obvious mistake. I'm always surpised at how many typos and errors I can find a few days after posting.
