| Re: Renegade's Magic - possible spoilers
What struck me in Renegade's Magic was that there was absolutely no sense of a resolution until the very, very end ... and then I started to realise that she's done this before. Just as you think you're on the downhill slope, she brings in another twist or turn to heighten the suspense again. It got to the point with RM where I was looking at the number of pages left and thinking she would never be able to do it, never wrap things up. But she did, of course. I think this is perhaps what has made me feel, in the past, that Hobb's endings seem a touch contrived - everything is resolved so fast. |
