Does anyone else find Glen Cook's "Tyranny of the Night" a difficult read?
I find his sentence structure to be very confusing at times, as he often splits a single sentence into two. As an example (these two sentences are made up as I dont have it in front of me, but it illustrates how alot of his sentences are written):
"The patriarch would not be held accountable for wrong doings. Because the army was at fault."
I also find the amount of names, places, events, hierarchy's, etc crammed into each paragraph make it difficult to keep focus on.
I picked up this book because I had read good reviews of Glen Cook, and because the cover looked kick-butt (bad deRost, BAD! Judging a book by it's cover like that. BAD!)

I have not read the book, and I have not heard anything about it however I wanted to reply to something else you just said. I completely believe in judging books by their covers. Now this doesn't apply to all books but when I have no idea what to read I will go to book stores and just look for a cover to stand out to me. That is how I usually find new authors I like. Or ones I don't like. But anyway. I know what you mean. I read a book once that drove me crazy to read because it was obvious that the author should never have been published if it were under normal circumstances. But I read it anyway just because of who wrote it.
