Reading other reviews about this book, I just don't get it. For one no one mentions the editing, its horrid. In fact there are some who actually say that there are not many problems at all. The reality is that there are spelling errors, wrong words and missing words, paragraphs with discussions between two characters that are not written in an easy to follow manner. This is spread throughout the book and it is a LONG book.The story is in a word boring. A good way to look at it is to take the last book. Remember how we got switched from the war effort to the ducal politics and then back? OK so take out the war effort and then lower the difficulty and importance level of ducal politics to that of a land holding knight.....snore. The way the book is written does not help matters at all either. It is pretty much time skip after time skip with summaries of what happens in that period of time. You actually do not get a lot of things happening 'on screen' so to speak. Instead of two characters talking you will get more often than not a blurb of what they talked about. We are told what is happening not shown and I just did not enjoy that.
