I seriously feel the story was an over-bloated waste of my time.
Sure, it's very well written, and very imaginative - but somehow the entire story as I remember it is essentially irrelevant - no one really achieves anything, what does happen is ad hoc, and characters you were introduced to as important from the beginning fail to really be.
I always remember this series as 6000+ pages of the following:
"They went somewhere different, everyone was tired, and some of them cried".
Give me back my life, Tad Williams!!  |
I don't understand how you managed to read all 4 volumes and only then come to this conclusion. It seems to me if you feel this way about this story now, then you should have been able to see that after, at the most, the 2nd book, yes?
