Query: This book bites

Call me sick (and many have), but I don't mind the sex or violence. What I do mind is authors adding unnecissary filler to stories. I loved the first book. It was a full, wonderful novel. The rest of them (2-4) are short stories filled with extra dialogue. Many of the chapters are elongated with redundancy simply becuase this writer thinks he needs to write a 500 page novel.And who else but me could give a hoot about Richard and Kahlan? Okay the love each other. That was established in the first novel. Now, it's just plain sappy. Each would give their lives for the other. (How many times was that crud said?) Their whole love affair with each other is just corny beyond belief. If I wanted this kind of dung I would have read a Hallmark card. I will not be buying any further installments of this series
