ATDTDA Assessment of Pacing

[bekah]

Oh please.   I've only posted about 3 section-related items but 2 of 
them contained spoilerish content relating to a connection a chapter 
or two ahead.   At this point in the book it's hard to confine any 
vision of a larger sense to what's gone before.   If this is a first 
reading for someone I think they should hustle and finish,  flip the 
book over, re-open the cover and catch up.   I really advise at least 
two readings anyway because there's no way to keep everything in your 
head for that same reading's future reference.   A first reading 
helps with the second in that the reader can edit the amount of 
material noted to that which is really thematically relevant.   If 
you don't know where you're going any road will take you.
