the only reason. I picked up this book is cause I knew it was the end of the series, though u believe this series should have ended long ago. To say really that almost nothing but talking happens in this book would be understatement and when there is actual action that takes place it is over and done with quickly. I also get tired of characters that no nothing on a subject but with a few hours of reading over night can now recite the history of the subject. The author also can't make up his mind on whether the characters are smart or dumb as from one minute they jump from o e to the other. The ending felt like he threw it together cause he had no real idea how he wanted to end it.
