Darkness and Light

I liked Sturm and Kitiara very much in the Chronicles so I thought a book featuring both of them would be a very good read. Unfortunately I was wrong. It was turned out that the Sturm and Kitiara in this book were more stereotypical and have less depth than the ones written by Weis and Hickman. I didn't an epic-level story, but I didn't exactly expect comedy either. The authors didn't know what to expect either as it appears to be part epic and part comic. The first half of the book deals with their involvement with a bunch of gnomes (very annoying ones) and accidentally landing on Lunitari. The latter half of the book is the part where it actually gets to where Sturm is trying to find his father's legacy. The humor was not really very funny - just not serious. The serious part of the book should have been worked on and expanded, not doing it in this half-half manner. Disappointing really. In short, this book tries to do a bit too much but ended not doing enough.
