This is my first Terry Brooks book (on CD), and it will be my last. I marked it 'predictable', which I don't consider a negative characteristic. Many books are predictable yet still interesting and well written. I think this is a good story with interesting characters. The reader was able to make the voices distinct, and he even did pretty good female voices. Much praise to the reader!My problem is that, in my opinion, the story was tediously written. If something could be said well and concisely in 15 words, it was ruined by saying it in 75-100 words. Concepts were repeated over and over. If a character was uncertain about something, we were told about it repeatedly throughout the story. Worse, the same thing would be said in the same instance (e.g., paragraph) in different words. "I'm uncertain..." "I don't know..." "I'm inexperienced..." "I don't think I'm qualified/ready/able..." or "I'm sorry..." "I didn't mean to hurt..." "I wish I could take it back..." "I didn't intend..."I understand that two of the main characters were teens, and over-thinking something until it is ground into powder is normal (even for adults at times), but I don't need that dinned into my ears. All this exposition was tedious, at least to me. I fear spending money on another book by this author only to find the same style. A disinterested (not uninterested) editor could have pointed out this issue and encouraged and helped the author to make a decent story into something much better.
