Query: The worst Eddings to date

It's obvious that David had very little or nothing at all to do with this book. After the first couple of chapters, the characters are indistinguishable from each other, and the bad guys so stupid that there's no reason to keep reading. The group of protagonists isn't even concerned about them, and with reason. If you've ever been annoyed by the cutesy, smarmy "yes dear" language in any of the latter Eddings books, you'll absolutely hate this one. It starts almost immediately, and only gets more prevalant. Don't waste your money on this book.
