Didn’t like the mord-sith and torture. And I didn’t get the head wizard Zed, he seemed pretty powerless for his position. There’s a few authors that I thought had promise and then I tired of them pretty quickly. Sometimes it’s just because I feel like they are just churning out books quickly without fresh ideas. I’d put Brooks and Salvatore in that category. Really liked them for awhile and read all their stuff, but just got boring after awhile. Donaldson is somewhere in the middle. I haven’t read him for awhile, but I ended up liking the last Covenent books. At least the last I’ve seen; there was a series with 4 books. He had a few unrelated titles that were hit and miss. I’ve liked the Weeks books so far, up and coming author. I don’t know if I’ve read them all, there were 3 books about an assassin and the more recent Lightbringer series.
