"The Path of Anger: The Book and The Sword 1" by Antoine RouaudRating: ♣ ♣
Unsatisfying. That would be my one word description: unsatisfying.
The heroes were quite unlikable - they were either blind fools, people ruled entirely by their emotions or vicious schemers - but most disappointing was how it all turned out. I expected some kind of catharsis, at least someone getting what they wanted. But there wasn't any satisfying revenge, no comeuppance... And I could've accepted that if their plans imploded because of an outside force they had no way of influencing, but no, they disintegrated because of their own stupidity, incompetence, recklessness and blindness. Especially Laerte annoyed the heck out of me, he went from a spoiled, hormonal brat to an angry, hormonal murderer with no regards for other people, their lives, safety and plans. What a selfish dick. The only characters I rooted for were Aladzio and De Page.
Disappointing...
