Rating:  - A simple, but nice FR story/
I had a lot of doubts if I should buy this book or not, given the other reviews here, but I am glad I bought it.
First, it is important to say that this is not a book that will please everyone. If you don't know what the words Rashemen, bladesinger, Cormanthor and Thay mean, this is probably not for you.
Second, the story is very simple and straightforward. Don't get me wrong here... I liked it quite a bit, but it tells a story just for the sake of it. The main character ... Read More
Rating:  - Not Good
Bladesinger features a Half-Elven outcast getting pointlessly involved in an internal struggle in the land of Rashemen. The book has two distinct parts, the Rashemen part (75% of the book ) taking place in year 1372 DR, and five flashback chapters dealing with main character's past, taking place earlier.
The protagonists in this book are fairly interesting, especially the main character Taen the Bladesinger. Actually, those five flashback chapters are the only thing I enjoyed in this book. ... Read More
Rating: - Woefully average "pulp"
The villains are more suited to one of those Saturday morning kid shows that takes footage from bad Japanese TV shows and splices it with pretty kids in California who can't act. The pacing is so rhythmic and formulae that nothing surprises. Taen's thoughts read like the lyric sheet for an half-elf Emo band and his fellow angsty adventurers are as wholly uninteresting as the book's plot. Finally: Whoever edited this book deserves to be drawn and quartered.
Rating: - whiney
the main character is whiney. the hero is annoying and their attemp at a love story fails. not a good book at all.
Rating:  - Grade: D
This is not a terrible book, but it's not great either. Is their a plot and was there and editor? Well, maybe a plot, it was slow, and failed to grab hold, nor did it make much sense, and what there was well used and done before. An editor, I think not, too many logic errors, the pacing was weird, the dialogue disjointed and insipid. Taen's close to the witch when she cast a spell at him, but he has to run across a cavern floor full of stalactites to hit at her? AND WHY IS THE COMBAT TURN BASED, IT'S A ... Read More
