I also appreciate divergent ideas thrown in, but do be willing to substantiate/expand on your opinion. That's what makes the difference between dialoging and trolling....
A lot of the tension in the Chrons comes from unresolved inner and outer conflict. It drives me crazy sometimes. I'm re-reading RoTE and how many times do we have to hear Linden think "They don't understand!! Lord Foul has my son." And choosing the midst of conflict as a time to clam up and analyze herself... Interminably.
But I still love the books because that "interminably" does give substance and depth to what otherwise would become just a play of outlandish characters in a beautiful setting. In other words, it humanizes the story.

I hear you, DotD. And that reaction of the characters (incredibly intense action requiring quick decision making! Activate, internal monologue!) is not limited to the Chronicles. Terisa from Mordant's Need used to drive me batshit standing around mired in inner conflict while really important things were happening, damnit!

So true!! I finished Runes tonight. And it really is a big relief when everyone finally lays their cards on the table.Cambo wrote:I hear you, DotD.
