Kainan (Deragan Sword Prophecy Trilogy, #1) Reviews

This review is a bit confusing (like my view of this book) so bear with me...
If I could give 3.5 I would, the story of Kainan is good it flows nicely and it never stalls. I think it is a good book and I want to stress that, I don't think it is as strong as other fiction I have read and as a big fan of Terry Goodkind I will rate all other fantasy against his books and thats where this book falls down for me. It lacks depth.... What I mean is there is one story and yes its a good story but that's it theres not enough invested in the character for me I want to care for the character and feel for them, to cheer for them when they eventually complete their quest and save the day. In kainan I was never shocked never surprised it was pretty obvious who was bad and who was good from the start and I still feel that Kainan calling Arweyn Honey was a mistake, is it a nickname?? How can someone who was unsure if the girl liked him and worries his feelings won't be reciprocated continue be a joker and call her honey??? Honey is used as a term of endearment I just don't think a man would call a female love interest Honey after one day of knowing her kindred souls or not.
Conclusion, worth a read but didn't rock my reading world, I will give it a few weeks and then think about reading the next one. -
This author certainly knows how to pack a punch and write a good plot. Great loveable characters. Great baddies. Bit of romance. Great fighting scenes. Lots of adventure. However, I was a little disappointed with the editing. It really needs a good and thorough looking at. Spellings are fine, it's just the grammar. Words are missing or doubled up as a sentence has been changed and the author has forgotten to take something out. This didn't put me off though as I got quite used to it. I might just have stretched this tale to a 5, if hadn't been for the bad editing.

Very well written - thank you Rosemary. If you liked Eragon - you will definitely like this one. I immediately ordered #2 as I have to know more. The Characters and the story are great! Thank you.
