Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Reading this collection of books was a chore. The main character has no depth at all. He is supposed to be the "hero", but never comes across as one. The slew of supporting characters that are introduced are so flat that I couldn't really tell one from the other. In other words, I just didn't care about what happened to anybody in the story since the author never gave me a reason to care.There are guilds that are made up of immature one dimensional characters that soul purpose is to steal "loot" and "booty". The interactions between the characters are forced and obtuse. Every cliche you could think about in a fantasy setting is used. Reading this book felt like I was playing a poorly designed D&D video game. Meet strangers, immediately go on "quests" to collect loot and magical items to boost your abilities (level up), then teleport back to the guild hall. Get another "quest", go try to steal something from some fantasy based race.. teleport back to the guild hall... Wash, rinse, repeat. The guild that is focused upon in this story is supposed to be some "defenders of the weak" or some such cliche, but all they are is a bunch of bumbling thieves that rush into an "adventure" to get rich. This was not a good read at all.
