Okay, I guess. A little diffuse, maybe. Things without explanation and a lot of range in the variety and variations of creatures called by familiar names, but not quite familiar in context and behavior. For example, the story is "elf-centric." The main character is an elf and the people that surround her are elves. Human beings are generally considered mythological beings. It is decidedly unclear on who are the good guys and who are the bad guys and why.
In some respects it reminds me of things like the Belgariad. It is clear that the hero is the hero and is something special and of great importance to the world at large - but no one will tell the little dork anything. Garion stumbles through the entire first book of five knowing nothing. Maybe it will work out better for Frey in the next book.
