Lately, I feel like I'm giving up on books more quickly than ever. But I think a big part of that is because when I do force myself to slog through a book I'm not enjoying, I read less and less. There are plenty of good books out there, so why stick with a disappointing one?

This one was tough to get through even 4 chapters. To tell the truth, I stuck with this book for even that long because of how much I enjoyed Morgan's previous books. I remember there were times in each of his books that I felt the pace dragging a bit, but it always picked up. That wasn't the case here.

It might simply be that I don't read that much fantasy literature, but whatever the cause, I just never got into this book. As far as Morgan's novels, I'll stick with the sci-fi when he gets back to it.
