My husband is reading the worst book EVER. It doesn't make any sense. The plot holes are legion and Cyclopean in scope. The main guy's sword is made of "adamantine" (seriously) which for some unexplained reason you can only get after killing a hundred men.
The author even uses words when he obviously doesn't know what they mean. Example: "She looked invigorated by the pallor of her face." WTF? And no, it's not self-published!
I am all for sword-n-sorcery ridiculousness, but this is just...badly executed, poorly planned and painful to hear when Husband reads me parts of it.
I have actually asked him not to put this book on the shelf with our other books, lest its suckiness bleed into our other titles. And then, when when we move, we'll rearrange our books and then they'll all become contaminated, and then we'll lend them out and borrow others and...within a few years, every book in the world might be corrupted with suckiness.
Surprisingly, all the reviews for this book are positive. Husband said that as he reads on, it's getting better...but that's relative considering how horribly it began.
And yet I, with my coherent sentence structure and knowledge of word definitions, can't find an f-ing agent to save my life.
Edit: I know words, but I can't spell. How do I change the thread title?
