Title: Slow, boring and painful
Product review: Wow. This was the slowest book I've ever read. Like many of the other reviewers, I thought that this book was about 500 pages too long. To make it worse, many of the truly interesting elements that were focused on in the book were wrapped up in about 5 pages at the end. Instead of those interesting elements we, once again, got to focus on Fitz's misery--over and over and over again. It just seems that the author lost her steam on this book and even part of the second book. It's too bad because there was a lot of potential to make this more expansive and focus on the issues of the kingdom. It just felt like a waste of time. Don't bother.
