The final chronicles is terrible. Endless repetition of descriptive phrases fill endless pages and do nothing to advance the story. Lindens battered woman affect is relentless and every character focused upon has a lousy self image that bogs the story down in what SRD apparently thinks is suspense or verisimilitude but in reality is boring and once again, does nothing to advance the story. Even action scenes, while being chased or attacked the characters have time to relive traumas for page after page. There is no sense of continuity or tension when the main characters are lost in reminiscenses about walking through the rooms of a house in another world. Self indulgent tripe of the sort I can do without.
