Final Quest

[arethinn]

So, has anyone out there been reading The Final Quest? I don't really have a specific topic I wanted to discuss, just trying to breathe a little life in here. (I've been enjoying swan_tower's re-read posts that are the most recent thing.)

(I looked at the tags but I don't know if any of them fit. This isn't really "meta", I don't think.)

I'm basically with you ... I've been buying it as it comes out, except I haven't actually read what I've bought in a while. I feel like the storytelling has been reduced to a plot summary, and I haven't been able to engage with it :-/

I think "the storytelling has been reduced to a plot summary" is a really accurate way to put it--that must be why, like anke comments below, it feels like there's too much Story crammed in. It just keeps telling us, telling us, telling us, summarizing/describing, instead of slowing down and showing us.

Hmm. I wouldn't have thought to say this, but I think you're right. It does seem paced awfully fast, with a lot of epic things happening that each should have been expanded some. I mean, there's what, two issues to go? It's going to feel a pretty rushed ending, I fear.
