I will admit that J. Robert King is more interesting to read than the other novelists lately in the Magic universe, but that stupid horse's buttcake KILLED BRAIDS!!! What the hell!?!?!
First, he turns her into a "Manic goat" hopping around and acting like a circus clown. That was messed up, because she was a cool dark dementia personality earlier (anybody remember her imaginary friends from Judgment?). Then, King makes her a doofus clown.
Then, reading Scourge, she's just snuffed out like a lamer. Yeah, characters gotta die (I miss Chainer. Though he was cool, I understand he had to die. Skellum, too.) but the way King did in Braids sucked.
Oh, and Zagorka, too. She was interesting, being built up from two novels just to sort of be sucked up into the Karona cuncoction. What the hell was her point only to be done in so matter-of-factly?
The First, also. Sure, his death was slightly interesting because it involved Braids getting her dementia back, but it was also bland.
All three were interesting characters, but snuffed out like so many random red-shirted ensigns on Star Trek. Understandably, not everyone can have a cool death like Chainer or Laquatus, but still, so matter of fact.
Braids -- Merely buried alive and dead in a sentence.
The First -- Merely eaten by one of Braids' monsters in a low-text manner.
Zagorka -- Merely sucked up into Karona.
If only WotC can be done in as fast... heh...
