Fast!? I've gone through over 2/3 of the first book and I was thinking the worst so far had been the slow pace. I do agree the characters haven't said much but I figured it was because they were keeping things a secret from the MC. Thanks for sharing your perspective though!
I think the first series he wrote may have a bit of a slow start. The one I'm hate reading is his latter work about the knight Sparhawk. I was convinced the plot of the first book would revolve around stopping the nefarious plot that he - I swear to god - just happened to overhear a villain just explain to an entire room in an inn. Like 8 or so chapters later and he is on a different continent, kidnapping an ambassador after having completely stopped the evil plot, fought in two major battles, adopted a child, commited arson, survived a shipwreck and infiltrated a cultist meeting. It's remarkable how fast things can happen if none of the characters have any personality you have to write around.
