Personally I have really enjoyed the series. I agree that there have been some slow moments but for the most part I truely enjoyed the story.
Hopefully he pulls the entire story together quickly now...
Thraeryn, perhaps if you read more than the first chapter of a book you would better judge the entire book. Saying that the first paragraph wasn't on par with Charles Dickens just isn't a fair comparison. And basing the speed of a 5 or 600 page book on the first chapter alone doesn't seem fair either.
Personally I haven't read any of Charles Dickens books (or if I have it doesn't stand out in my mind) but from what you said I am not sure I should. I enjoy becoming immersed in a story and from the sounds of it, Charles Dickens books speed through the story and don't delve into any real details.
