Aye but with such a slow build up to the climax I really think he has set himself up for a nearly impossible task of being able to write the details of that final showdown in any sort of way that satisfies the general population of his vast number of fans.

It almost has to be a let down because by now we all have this totally unrealistic idea of what it should be,and really that is entirely his fault because of the slow pace of this otherwise good story. This will be the ultimate test in terms of his ability as a writer, period. If he pulls it off and it is even remotely satisfying he could suddenly be hearalded and the "god" of the fantasy genre once again and then really be deserving of such praise.

Personally I wish him nothing but good things and I truly do hope the last book is one that deserves his 'reserved" spot at the top of the New York Times Bestseller's listing. Why? Well of course because then I would really want to read it and feel the need to do so.
