I like the way Erikson doesn't reveal everything - it's his way of building tension. The main reason I'm enjoying it so much is because I haven't a clue what's going on. Well, I'm into chapter 5 now, and I have a good enough idea, but up until chapter 4 I was doing a lot of guessing. I like books that make you work to figure stuff out. I’m enjoying book 1.

I've heard people say that you should tell the boring parts and show the interesting parts. I think that's a pretty decent rule of thumb. Btw, I'm reading book 2 of Malazan right now. I skipped book 1, because I'd heard it's more challenging to start with. Not sure if I'll go onto #1 or #3 after #2.

You might have solved you problem. You did always write the emotions. I didn't know what MS was so thanks for the explination. Mad, that may be it. You might have solved you problem.
