It's been a while so I don't remember all the specifics, just that I was severely dissapointed.

I understand what you mean - and thanks for the information, too.

I've encountered quite a number of books that spend way too much time on telling/building a kind of backstory to the characters or to their world(s) and feel like I know what you mean by this.
