This means that he doesn't have to bluntly inject motivations for his protagonists as they are driven and motivated (by drawing you in) by the real world and events around them.<br />Haven't finished yet, but I think his Shadowmarch series was a much more refined version of this series after he had honed his craft and style. Probably has the best villain he has ever written in it too, which helps.Funksoul123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14512374627441568219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-20347513262571794902015-09-10T19:36:38.736+00:002015-09-10T19:36:38.736+00:00Just finished this book about a month ago and I co...Just finished this book about a month ago and I couldn't agree more with what you write here.
