Well yeah, that of course. But also in general, like fantasy writing 101.
I guess I'm partly turned off to this author because of all the hype that he got and already having a movie made from his first book. He isn't that good, I don't care how young he is/was. He stole the story from Star Wars, yet he's hailed because of his age.
Why am I reading it then? My wife bought the darn thing, so after finishing A Feast For Crows, I thought I'd breeze through The Eldest. I may have to go shopping for something else soon. Maybe that Dresden Files series you've mentioned. We'll see.
