Which would make the series itself quite complicated.<br /><br />Still want to read it, though :-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-71273620841420156242010-02-11T11:10:24.493+00:002010-02-11T11:10:24.493+00:00I kind of been avoiding this book... what with my ...I kind of been avoiding this book... what with my TBR pile bursting at the seams... okey, okey, I'll have a look again....Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393654291460364161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-53084475222227408802010-02-11T10:04:45.122+00:002010-02-11T10:04:45.122+00:00I think that these interuptions, be they backflash...I think that these interuptions, be they backflashes, visions, comments or infodumps, are a conscious part of the writing style. I was surprised that they worked so well for me and that the story flowed so well despite (or because) of them.hwmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802365544516747923noreply@blogger.com
