![]() ![]() ![]() Ok, I understand that happens, but this is fantasy, Tungdil's the hero, and you just spent 2 massive books previously building up the relationship between these 2, only to cast Tungdil now as a self-centered, incontinent flake. ![]() The reason: the one that I've heard almost everyone cheating on their spouse claim as the reason, loss of passion. ![]() Then he cleans up - only to cheat on his wife, Balyndis - whom in the previous 2 books was built up as the love of his life. He's a drunk and a slob in the beginining - and, after taking forever, the book finally goes into why that is. The protagonist in "The Dwarves", Tungdil the Dwarf, is portrayed in ways that seem uncharacteristic of him from the previous books. The book goes off into too many different plot threads - makes it unfocused and, again, a plodding narrative. In this book's predecessor, "The War of the Dwarves", so many of the main characters and even entire races are wiped out such that its successor, this book, has to spend a lot of time doing "world rebuilding". Any fantasy series has to have a certain amount of world building within it for the story to have a background and make sense. įor one thing, it drag on entirely too long - a more engaging story might have just as possible in a book about a third to half the length of this one. In comparison with the previous 2 books in "The Dwarves" series, I found this one disappointing. ![]()
