Wow, thanks for taking the time and sharing all that!

The only thing I could think of is The Order and their concept that if you have and others don't you should be forced to give to them. I think it's an interesting political view, but I took at as the way the Dream Walker built and consolidated power, not a remark on the real world at all. But I could just be naive about it.

I would disagree about the second paragraph. I mean one book doesn't even have any of the main chars in it till the very end. Then you have a lot of content around multiple groups or people they are going after.

I can %100 understand the issue with the plot armor and ability to handle anything that comes up. Richard is made out to be this mega character that is essentially God, which does make some of the conflict feel weak. I can totally appreciate that.

Well thanks for typing all that out and talking the time to break down your feelings on it. I'm always curious about how others see things I've built an attachment to that can blind you a little sometimes. I still stand by loving them, warts and all, but I'd never cast shade on anyone who doesn't.
