Lord Of The Isles

Rightly in the "Terribly Written Books" category of baaaad fantasy.This one is pretty close to tying with IceWind Dale for the "most Insipidly Bland" fantasy series ever.Oh boy, where do I start with this one? The main character is an utter dolt, the supporting cast cookie-cut out, and the plot...what plot? There were holes in the plot the size of Australia and characters appear from nowhere only to wander out of the plot just as fast as they were introduced. I'm not even going to get into the characterization -- it was about as laughable as the nonsensical plot threads found in every single one of the books.This series competes with Ice Wind Dale for the "most unoriginality award".David Drake (or should I maybe start calling him David Dreck? Ok, that was just mean, I admit...) should stick to writing Science Fiction -- he had a better knack for that, sorta.
