Negative Positive
Title: An industry problem
Review: This is not a review of the book so much as a review of the state of fantasy & sci-fi literature. We have a problem here my friends...a problem perpetuated by us, the fans. We are continually fed endless series by nearly every popular author for the sake of the allmighty dollar. The only person getting fulfilled by reading these bloated works are the author and the publisher. We, the fans, are forced to wade through up to 10,000 pages for a story that could (conceivably) be accomplished in a tight 600 page novel. Ask yourself: When was the last time you read a standalone fantasy novel?Yes I own the books, but Robert Jordan (and Tor) is one of the leading offenders in this area. Make a stand and stop buying fantasy & sci-fi series that end up turning into mindless drivel after a few books. These people (and companies) are publishing books merely for the sake of publishing and making money...not to tell us a story.
Is the review positive or negative?
