This has been said before, but I'll say it again to voice my extreme displeasure at this cash cow. If I can give zero star, I would. Read the 1600 reviews below, saying that this book is terrible is an understatement. Nothing happens to progress the plot, does Mr. J. still remember that the last battle is coming amidst the henpecking women, smoothed skirts and tugged braids? Well you know what I mean. Probably I'm still going to buy the next one (still a sucker at how things will turn out), but no more hardcovers, this time I mean it.R.S.
