Book Review of When the King Comes Home

When the King Comes Home

This had been recommended to me, but I can't really do the same. The plot development was fairly poor and the ending felt truly rushed, as if the author could spend hours writing about grinding pigments and melting iron but could only right small notes about the battlefield.

The concept of it was interesting and the world involved (a nearly post-Renaissance European world mixed with a bit of magic and a few locale alterations) was very unique. I just felt that the story could not keep up with the scope involved.

It's an average story featuring an average cast and the few characters I wanted to learn more about...well, I never did. Which was disappointing to the extreme.
