Other Kingdoms

Ah, I realize I'm about to commit sacrilege here. I've only read one other book by him, and it left me a bit cold. I didn't hate it, but it was less than impressive.

I hated this one. I found it condescending, snarky, sexist, dull, and completely vacuous. The treatment of women is pathetic. The smoking hot voluptuous woman is–of course–a redhead and VERY BAD. The little tiny fairy is good as gold and tender. There are unrealistic sex scenes. And the hero–whose name I couldn't be bothered to recall–is a complete and utter Mary Sue. If you must read Mr Matheson, please, read something else. This book was simply annoying and a waste of time.

I apologize to my fellow horror and fantasy fans, but...I loathed this book.
