Not strictly fantasy, but 'Scarecrow' by Mark Riley. Why?
Appallingly written.
Cliched plot.
Blatant Star Wars homage/rip-off so crassly done its an insult to the intelligence.
Characters that aren't really characters but simply a collection of every, single, action-genre Hollywood cliche its possible to find and mould together.
The book rounds itself off with an 'interview' with the author that is so clearly himself interviewing himself, and crowing over what a masterpiece he's created, you seriously want to track this idiot down and brain him with his own Boba Fett helmet.
A novel that is, truly, truly, gut wrenchingly awfully, appallingly bad and should be burned from the face of the planet.
