Although I do not own these novels, I had to mention to you that I feel that you portrayed an excellent opinion.
Your in-depth perception of why you did not like it was well done.
Sorry you did not like the novels, however.
I never go by what other people tell me is a good read.
Maybe I should.
Maybe I am missing out on alot by restricting myself to the Forgotten Realms only.
Yet, I do not feel deprived.
I get my fulfillment of great stories with the plot that sucks you in and makes you cry for the death of a character, or scared to enter a cavern for what may lie ahead.
I love that moment as the whole house is quite and still, and everyone is asleep except me, since I have to finish that last chapter before retiring, and then as I am reading, my mind sees the show as though it were a movie, and I no longer am just reading words.
