Query: Not bad, but nothing to throw a party over

I see i'm to be the first to give this a bad review. the book was ok, but thats about it. the characters were developed just enough to make you interested but not enough to really satisfy the avid reader or to clearly define them. Coe posesses some talent with writing, but lacks any true zest. Most of his twists and surprizes are seen comming a mile away and do little to improve the reading. The magic system is about the most generic i've ever seen. They can throw color coded fire, heal, and see through the eyes of their familiars... is this all? is there more? whats the source? the book was definatly a step above the Dragonlance dime a dozen tripe, but it fell short of being anything that will leave a lasting impression. still, if you are waiting for something good to come out and have nothing aournd to read, head to your local used book store and give Mr. Coe a chance.
