im not saying i havnt enjoyed it so far (or that i think ill be let down in the end) but i do feel that the original series was a little more in-depth and, as such, believable...well-defined, at least. this seems so dependant as a sequal and after so much time has passed...well, it makes the books weak. its hard to justify the life-span of a plotline when given this much time.
i just dont know if i have the same faith in miller's newer stuff.
