WHAT are you reading right now?

Currently reading the latest "Wheel of Time."

I didn't say this about the last one because I had no way of knowing how much Robert Jordan had written before he passed... but now I must say that the editors did choose a fairly good replacement. He has the tone, voice and pacing of Robert Jordan down.

Unfortunately... he has the PACING of Robert Jordan down...

Seriously... could they beat the same dead horses over and over and over again in this series? And I swear that it seems halfway through the series they got bored with the lead character and just gave up on him. It's the only series I've ever seen where the protagonist starts becoming a MINOR character! He's a set piece.

At least with the George Martin "Songs of Ice and Fire" series it was ALWAYS an ensemble narrative.
