That's true. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 31/03/2010 01:02:48 AM
Such a great change from the boring descriptions served in other fantasy novels.


I guess my main IRK is that who knows what the hell they are doing?


But me, I've never really cared that this guy got a knife slipped through his fifth and sixth rib on his right by a sudden downward lunge. Or whatever.

To me, it's like the middle of a combat (and therefore generally a tense scene) and the authour just veers into an uninteresting description. Imagine if RJ had interrupted Dumai's Wells to describe the clothing of all involved.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

It's less of a theme and more like a case of mental derangement - 01/04/2010 09:04:58 PM 700 Views
