Hi, I like your userpage! But why did you leave the series after Loamhedge? I thought it was really good. --Neildown  Takin requests! 01:15, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment on my userpage. I tried to go minimalist; I guess it's my thing. Come to think of it, I should probably look over my userpage on the Dead Space wiki. But I digress.


 * Concerning why I didn't like Loamhedge...well, if I may be blunt, I felt that the book was just plain forumulaic. There were a couple of good scenes, but it mostly felt like the same old thing done over again. I also thought the story was a bit rushed - the "Battle" of the Abyss was one of the largest anticlimaxes I've yet experienced (barring the bit with the Scrabble game in A Handmaid's Tale and the ending of Monty Python and the Holy Grail). I mean come ON, they build up to it, you expect a cool battle, and then they just flip the log over and pitch Khananjul and his posse into the bottomless pit of doom. I know that was the tactically correct move, but it was still just kind of disappointing for me. For me, though, the single biggest problem with the book was that I didn't really develop an emotional connection with any of the characters. I did feel a little sorry for that poor paraplegic hare, at first, but when she "magically" revealed herself to be capable of walking after that one searat tried to kill a friend of hers, it kind of ruined the story for me. The "you just had to believe in yourself!" paradigm is really just kind of cheesy - and it made the whole quest of Loamhedge just seem like a pointless endeavour for me.


 * Sorry to be so negative; I just really disliked the book. I still think I'll try the Sable Quean, though - that one looks pretty promising. Anyway, thnaks for the message, and I hope to see you around on the wiki.
