Apologies for the book's detriments. In this first book of the series, I wanted to parody the "generic fantasy" stories I grew up on. The ones where D&D-like characters have D&D-like tragic backstories instead of actual development. These are then revealed as they hack and slash their way through a convoluted plot. I mighta gotten too meta for my own good. Anyway...
If you continue with the series, you'll see actual development. Probably ;-)
