Okay RJ. I like your books. Really. I just can't help getting bored or lost. Even in the 2nd and 3rd books (which I really enjoyed) I could skip a few pages and not miss a thing, but now...I'm kind of confused. I just can't keep up with all of these characters. I always end up looking in the glossary of the old books to identify the returning characters because you went and shrank it when we needed it the most. WHERE IS MAT? WHERE IS MOIRAINE(sp)? HOW COME NYNAEVE IS ACTING SO STUPID? SHE USED TO BE KIND OF COOL. I really love your books JR and you've totally hooked me. Can we have some kind, any kind, of conclusion to any of the little plots now? I'm losing track and, from the looks of the these reviews, lots of other people are too. Your originality is a perfect 10 and I love your intrigue. I just can't keep up with it all. Thanks for the enjoyment.
