How to annoy the hell out of James
Jul. 2nd, 2006 07:19 pmWell, I just finished George R. R. Martin's A Feast for Crows. Now, I don't mind cliffhangers, and I've gotten used to him killing off major characters, but GAH!
It wouldn't be so bad, but from what is written at the end, A Feast for Crows and the hopefully coming out soon A Dance with Dragons were originally one book that got too long, thus why they got split in twain. Which means it will be 2 books down the line before any of the major storylines from this one get resolved. Assuming that book doesn't get the same treatment.
Buggrit. Coud be worse, from what Herb said, the last Wheel of Time was sort of Jordan's take on Ulysses by James Joyce, wherein the entire 1000 or so pages covered about 36 hours and basically chronicled where every character was when one character did something special. Which would be why I gave up on that series. After the end of book 2, I was so confused as to who everyone was anymore, I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.
