I'm not gonna mention martin. cause everything that has to be said about him has been said. multiple times. by multiple people.
but erikson? I wish I could get into those books. I really, really do. everyone likes them. but to me they are just a convulted mess. I couldn't even finish the second book. how is what erikson writes any more insane than goodkind? sure a chicken? I get it... it's stupid.
but erikson has a Tree. A TREE with no prior history shows up in the last 30 pages of the first book to kill something that I'm not entirely sure it was.. and then gives us mumbo jumbo words to explain it all away. and I'm still trying to figure out who half the characters where, and the characters he bothers to introduce us to don't matter. Tarot card reading lady anyone?? she dies and you see her again like halfway through the book for 2 pages. WOW way to have a whole chapter dedicated to her and her background at the beginning of the book.
and Goodkind's book after pillars of creation was better. Faith of the Fallen is one of my favorite books of anyones.
