flinn Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 The lack of communication between the main characters is driving me crazy. I am really hoping this doesn't happen the entire book or the entire series (Wheel of Time). SHARE THE INFORMATION!
Azul he/him Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I agree this can feel annoying sometimes. The main problem is that with multi pov books we know what everyone knows so its easy for us to say 'hey just talk and it will all work out!' Try to put yourselves in the charcters shoes and understand why they aren't talking. This is what I try to do and it usually helps me feel less annoyed.
Walker Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Actually, Kaladin does share some information with Dalinar, but gets nothing to show for it (at first). Class divisions are real, and they explain most of the communication problems. 3
cris34b he/him Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I actually screamed at my book when That one scam chick told Kaladin that Shallan was a Horneater. Though "No. Boots." That kinda made up for it. I swear, the actions of minor characters can make you crazy. And when that happened, I just legit screamed at the chick in the book, and I was in school at the time, and the teacher's eyes were like dinner plates. God, I get too into these books... I did not, and never will apologize for my love. Sanderfan for life.
flinn Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Very small spoilers: It gets better. Yep. Something I like (using WoT as comparison) is that I never felt any true desperation or real peril for the characters in WoT, where as in this I have several times. In WoT, by the time things were really hitting the fan, the series was ending. Things are going bad early and we have 8 more books of fighting back.
