Beyond the strange device, a mighty camp sprawled across the meadow,” (p.248)These grammatical flaws did bring me out of the novel on occasion but ultimately didn’t spoil my overall enjoyment.I did, however, find the growing relationship between the characters Tomas and Aglaranna to be quite unbelievable. The prose is noticeably weak, particularly towards the beginning, with long-winded sentences such as:“The undead creature struck at the dwarf and only Dolgan’s battle-trained reflexes and dwarven ability to sense movement in the inky darkness saved him,” (p.182)Or poor/repetitious word use such as:“Several more wagons were standing beyond the machines, and a few of the strange beasts could be seen grazing beyond the wagons.
I honestly cannot describe quite how large-scale, or indeed epic, this novel becomes, and how each character truly does stand out and make a difference.There are a couple of minor problems with this Magician.
