Negative Positive
Title: well, one has to read it and the sequels as well, but!
Review: I was really disappointed that this book is merely a money spinner for the author. All of the events precede the climactic events in Book 9 or are perhaps concurrent. So zero plot development here, after reading close to 700 pages and I am not exaggerating about the zero. I admit to still getting oh so engaged with the protagonists and you can't help but like them, but zilch actually happens. The book left me cold. With some deft editing, should have been combined with Book 9 or perhaps with #11 so atleast there would have been some plot movement. With #11 I will know to wait for the paperback before plunking down my money - there's nothing earthshattering that couldn't wait another year to read. So disappointed...
