I have heard of filler chapters before, but never before have I heard about a filler BOOK.
I cannot comprehend the need for an entire filler book. 600+ pages of mostly no developments! Close to zero character development as well, if anything we've got the opposite. And if we take out the countless unecessary descriptions of every. single. thing. we might be left with a few pages of actual interesting plot.
What happened in the last five chapter was what I was hoping to get in the middle of the book, because how else could the plot develop?? Well, I guess we'll never know.
