What do you mean by "abuses dialogue to carry scenes?" beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 17/11/2011 03:38:03 PM
I also quite dislike how he abuse to dialogue to carry scenes, as if he was writing scripts instead of novels). But I find RJ's approach to a magic system, and his restraint in the use of the magic system in the books, more to my personal tastes.



I'd actually think that the biggest complaint would be that he doesn't use ENOUGH dialogue sometimes. He really, really likes inner monologues. I think they're often well-done enough that you don't really notice, but his characters definitely tend to get lost in their own heads sometimes.
I amuse myself.

I have to say I agree, and if I come across as too harsh on B-Sand, it is entirely results-oriented Cannoli - 17/11/2011 06:02:05 AM 996 Views
