"Get on with it"
Yes, they are both talented
I am a fan of this series--good characters, strong plot lines, humor, good use of flashbacks.... However, the problem with this 5th novel is that it is directionless without an ending. He introduces too many story lines without ending the original story. FINISH the original narrative instead of dragging the reader into new story lines that do not end. Complete this story, then move into the next major story line.
