Title: How come....?
Product review: ...modern sci-fi and fantasy writers think that they need to give us massive works that go on longer than War and Peace and Les Miserables put together? How about PLOT DEVELOPMENT! Unfortunately, Williams feels the need to wow us with how clever he is at creating alternate worlds, but suffers from the same problem Robert Jordan does...the plot grinds to a halt for hundreds of pages, until the poor reader needs to scream..."Get on with it, already!". Frankly, after wading thru better than 1200 pages of the first two volumes, I hope I never encounter these characters again. So, if you are at all cruious about this series, wait for Book IV to be released in paperback, read the opening synopsis of the first three, and go on from there. Two stars (and the second one is merely because the fundamental idea is so good, but the execution ...I mean of the story, not necessarily the reader ! )
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
