Oh thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I have finally finished "The Nights Dawn" trilogy. 3168 pages officially, but on an e-reader it was many many many more. (yay for e-readers and being able to choose fonts and font sizes!)
I don't hate the series. The stories were hard to get into in places, some I liked more than others of course, but all were good in the end. The length of time it took me to get through it in tiny chunks was off-putting. I just don't have the concentration ability to plow through an entire book in one (or a few) sessions anymore.
