My complaint is the same as Wheel of Time. The whole book in 3 pages would be an bellow average book in this case though. I tried to give this a chance because I like this style of story.

Other things that bothered me was the stereotyped villain and hero. The hero is faced with world annihilation, and he is the only one capable to save it. But he doesn't want to, because he doesn't believe in fate, don't like violence, and would rather go to a quiet place to start a family and teach his son better. Well, I hate to break it to him but, ‘a quit place' is still inside the world.

The villain is the typical ‘I'm more powerful then everybody else, so they should bend to my will. I will kill anyone who disagrees with me'.
