The subtle advancement through out the story the feeling of being rushed along a path while having a underlying story, the upper level story progresses slowly thru hints here and there.
Dislikes
towards the end of the book the fighting scenes seemed half hearted almost like they were being forced out(which makes since why the writer is currently on a 2 month vacation from writing.) and secondly the problem I have with all great book series; the next book is not out yet so I can’t just go straight from this book too the next. (I find it hard to be able to hold a book up as an work of art unless I am so entrenched that I want to just hop from one to the next.)
