This review is from: Witherwing (Paperback)

Very, very bad. To start with, the main character could be straight outta Jokertown. Not that the sorcerous cursed to have a wing thing couldn't be interesting, with the advantages of moving around and not dying when falling from great heights.

However, the characters here are so wooden they'd keep two armies of carpenters busy. When the best guy is a two line throwaway city guard, you have problems.

The sidekick is a Scanner, basically, he can blow people's heads up. Communicates once for the whole book.

I can just imagine what Conan would do to someone whose main combat trick is to try a flapping wing distraction.

While that is bad enough, an unpardonable sin for a novel with the trappings of sword and sorcery is to be deadly dull, and this one is certainly that.
