Review title: 2 1/2 years between books--is the fault the publisher's?
Product review: I guess no. Most publishers would not want more than a year to lapse between hardcover publication of a [potential] best-selling series. After reading this book, my guess is that George went through a difficult period in his life that delayed his writing this book AND changed its "ambience": this book is nasty, brutish, and crude--I will probably not finish this series. Accomplished craftsman that he is, the book works, but not with the 'feel' of Volume 1. I have no worries about George as a writer, but if my guess is correct, (I) hope he works through his personal problems.
