And I never said he should be finished; I said he should "get to the frickin' point." He can write as many books as he wants in his series, but when he (or any author) spins his wheels for two whole books, I'm bailing... period. I have another name for "world-building" that has very little direct impact on the story/plot. I call it "filler." And I'm not interested in it. I like authors who "world-hint" and allow me and my imagination to do the actual building. I don't like my imagination being micro-managed.
More is just more. There's no inherent implication that it always means "better," just because it happened spontaneously. *shrugs*

Look, I fully understand your frustrations. Eleven years to produce two books-Seriously? And we are still two, maybe three, books from the end? That kind of progress would try the faith of Job. I guess I'm kind of like the battered spouse who is always giving the batterer the benefit of the doubt ( Surely, he'll improve... Just give him one more chance
).
I haven't read his latest, because frankly, I'm afraid of my faith being tested. Eventually, I'll download and read it-and you might find me joining your POV.
