"My Patience is at an end before this conversation started"
Yeah, I agree with the main character - my patience is now at an end before anything 'real' happens.
ACT i = Introduce Main Character - show struggle with his past - show other characters dislike of him and/or disbelief that he is who he says he is - and travel ... a long time ... to get to the next place only to ... travel a long time again -
The character has a cool name and the novel has an interesting concept, but I grow weary and tired from Fantasy novels that have 5-10 pages of action, followed by 90 pages of walking and talking to fill up space - is the 100K word count so difficult to achieve, we have to wander and reflect for pages at a time before we get to the meat of the story and the purpose of the characters?
CONCEPT = great idea and, as I said, I liked the Main Character that everyone else in the book seemed to hate - but the story itself, the dialog and the 'movement' was lackluster and therefore, this goes into the 25% complete pile to be read no more ....
