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!)
