Review title: Leave this author for 10 years
Product review: I can't give Martin an A or F for his effort- I grade him incomplete. This is another grand epic, well written, but released by the cup full when only the bucket is compelling. I am making the same pledge after Clash of Thrones as I did after reading Jordan's Path of Daggers. There are so many primary characters and they all have separate story threads, so that now instead of one story you have nine stories, which means that none of characters get resolution over the course of a 400 page book, because they are only in it for 40 or 50 pages. This wouldn't be a problem if the whole story was there on the shelf, then- I would only need to decide whether to invest all my liesure time for the next 6 months reading it- but when you get it in dribbles, it is hard to remember who any of the characters are, what trouble they are in and what they planned to do about it. I am putting this author away until his story is no longer a work in process.
