Pacing or Plot? Or both? Gnosis18 Send a noteboard - 01/09/2009 06:42:51 AM
You have to understand after reading something from Jordan, anything else will seem a tad rushed. As for The Black Company, do you mean you find the general pacing rushed, or you just didn't feel he explored the characters/plot to their full potential? There's a difference.

A book can still be enjoyable if it's just the depth of the plot or characters you have a problem with, but it's when the writing itself gets slow that I find a book to really be unenjoyable. For instance, I think Terry Goodkind has this problem. The characters and plot are enjoyable, but the pacing is just too slow for me to stick with it.
