Enjoyable filler, but filler nonetheless. Nothing. Happens. Whatsoever. Throughout. 800. Pages.On this read thr...

Biggest waste of time. I think I'm giving up the series, even if it is just one more book left. I just can't go through more pointless introductions and repetitive descriptions about Ayla's 'inventions' and "Pleasures" shared with Jondolar. I just can't.

Basically I have say the same I said for The Plains of Passage, too much sex we don't need it so often and we are not idiots, you do not need to repeat a bunch of info from the rest of the series or from earlier in the book. But I still like the the series, but if you want the true soul of the serie...
