Helpful Score: 1

Unfortunately, this story does start out slow due to the typical conflict within monarchies over who thinks they should be in power.

Elric is a little disappointing because he's unprepared and gullible when it actually comes down to dealing with reality even though he give the impression of being wise. In truth, he leaves himself wide-open for betrayal, and when it happens, he acts surprised and then has such a change of character that it's overly-dramatic.

Much of the story is predictable, but at least it's fast-paced so no a lot of time is spent wasted between scenarios. This actually helped keep me interested in finishing the book and deciding to read the next one.
