Reviews on the internet kept mentioning what a good book this was and how funny it was.So when I finally decided to buy from an used book site this was a given.
I was sorely disappointed though.
I am not sure wich humor the reviews were refering to,sure there is a lot of wording that makes you go "that was cleverly put" But still it doesnt make it humorous.
The world building was a bit sparsely described and I didnt connect with the characters.
I could have felt for more for the characters if they were a bit more wellrounded and I could have immersed myself more into the world if I had gotten to see more of it.
It all felt a bit thin.
Its not among the worst books Ive ever read its just that it was all a bit bland.

I read this trilogy 30 years ago, and it's still just as good now as it was then. It may not have the meat that some readers want in a novel, but what it lacks in pages in more than makes up for in the writing and characters.
Susan Dexter does a much better job with the second novel of the Winter King's War. She devotes a lot more attention to details, fleshing out our heroes, adversaries and newer characters, as well as the land of Calandra itself.

The early chapters of The Ring of Allaire are not without charm -- the protagonist is accompanied by some wonderful talking animal companions, and the tone is dryly funny -- but the rest of the book is rote and tedious.
