The crown of eldrete book pdf Then I came to the first page of the book itself and found footnotes Okay this is a science fiction novel right Not a textbook Example page 1 line 1 faeshir Faeshir are priests of Faeshir the dominant Human faith in GalfarraI have to say footnotes in a fiction novel are never a good idea As an author I avoid using made up words that mean nothing What s the point Does it add anything to the story or especially the reader s enjoyment Next I will come right out and say I just don t get this type of story It s purported to be science fiction with no science All the characters use swords There s not a hint of anything advanced except the plot involves several worlds Again what s the point Why not just base it in Medieval times where this should have been and make the worlds countries instead I mean even in Star Wars with its knights and guilds they still used light sabers and robots and spaceships. The crown of eldrete epub file Finally the story is so generic I thought I read it before and will not remember a single word from it when I finish typing this review Is there actually a market for this stuff If so power to the authors Give me something like Iain Banks Surface Detail which will forever haunt me with his virtual hells Shannon Haddock The main two characters in this story are Lindsey and Taliza who fight for actually I m not sure There s a battle right at the beginning where the two are fighting side by side and discover that they re cousins Then there s a whole slew of world building with dozens of names of planets power factions races and cultural terms I got lost in this book not knowing why Lindsey was taking on all these fights Sure Lindsey is a kick ass heroine who can fight well but placing a character as fearless and skilled isn t enough we take it for granted that the main heroine will be such I wasn t sure what the mission was There was some vague reference to the Crown of Eldrete at the beginning but why Lindsey wants it badly or even if she wants to find it was not clear to me The mention of this Crown doesn t happen again for a good half of the book in the middle. The crown of eldrew dnd This book is seriously compromised by the lack of plotting as to what the mission is all about Sometimes I feel it s me the reader who didn t read carefully enough But after checking it I ve decided that this book needs clarification and that there are just too many unfamiliar terms concepts and worlds to comprehend and know who is who and what everyone wants The gist I got out of this book is that Lindsey is supremely confident likes to swear and can defeat almost anyone but that s about it Sorry about that Shannon Haddock
