His ideas about the books - which had always been intended as one novel - make a lot of sense.
That always bugged me. I know RJ has said it before, but it's really... not true. I get that he means that it's one continous story, but it's NOT "one novel." It's over a dozen novels, all with their own rising and falling actions, climaxes, themes, and so on.
Yes, it can be construed as one giant "meta-novel," but at the end of the day, they all have their own seperate covers and copyright pages.
Anyway, carry on!
I amuse myself.
What was the purpose of Graendal?!

I'd say that DomA is one of the most thoughtful posters here. He researches his comments and gives

It's pacing and editing was bad, I see and agree on that. But the story overall was great.
