Review title: Bloated, boring series
Product review: This 4-book series, some 4000 pages or so, should have been edited down to a single 300-page novel. The ideas are okay, but the story did NOT need to be so long-winded and overwritten. Also, the main female character is supposd to be a genius, really brilliant, but every time we get into her thoughts, she's a moron! She is slow to understand EVERYTHING around her, she has to ask stupid questions, and she is shown to be a semi-hysterical idiot. When we're told someone is brilliant, they have to ACT brilliantly and THINK brilliantly. If Sherlock Holmes was always saying, "Duh, Watson, I dunno whaddya think?" we wouldn't believe his genius, and the same is true of Williams' lead female.This series is like running a 100-mile marathon, but the story it covers is only a 10-yard dash.
