I have literally never read a worse book. I read this to write a review since it "won" a Dragon Award but, after finishing it, I couldn't handle reliving the pain and suffering reading something this bad put me through to form coherent thoughts about it. So I suffered for nothing. Maybe at some point I'll have enough energy to at least collect and post all the notes I made on my kindle while slogging through this affront to fiction, sci-fi, and the fake paper it's digitally not-printed on. Today is not that day. ( )
