At last- still not a lot happens, but we're moving the story forward. Another reader may have found Strangers, The Peddler or The Gleeman more entertaining, I simply found those chapters filled with many details I could easily overlook. After some foreshadowing and some, yes, important albeit, let's get on with the story, world building, the story begins to unfold. Now, I should also admit, my impatience might be tempered more were I able to read more than one chapter at a time. I devoured Towers of Midnight; read it in two days. I'm really loving taking my time with this book, but knowing what lies beyond - I kind of want to get there already. Impatient much?
