A review by booksandladders
The Path Of Destiny by Mike Shelton
Did not finish book.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and chose to review it. This in no way affects my opinion.
DNF @ 25%
This is one of those books that is bogged down by too many words, over explanation of the world, and the need for someone to read it over a couple times to cut out the excess. It is very obvious that Shelton knows a lot about the world, but he wants to explain everything on page immediately rather than letting the reader explore the world as the characters do. I think had these first few chapters been read through a few more times to be edited and cut down, it would have made the beginning of the book flow that much better and not make me think the whole book would be this bogged down and dry. I love high fantasy, so I was pretty excited for this, but I am sad to say it just didn't fit for me.
