I think the problem is that some readers have been conditioned by those mega-books of 700-1200 pages to expect all books to be that long. Whereas I just wish someone would actually EDIT them rather than let the poor author make a fool of himself. (And yes, it is almost always HIMself when it gets to overlong and rambling books, IME.)
There were no technical problems with the book, at least in Kindle/MOBI format. And there was nothing structurally wrong with the story or the execution of the storytellers. Yes, it left me wanting more. Yes, there are story lines not fully developed. (Kamele, for one.) But that's the nature of the story, and the point of this book is THEO, not everyone else. For others, we'll have to wait for a future book. So be it.
