Because something never happened before that makes it too convenient? How is that?I loved Song of Susannah. It was an interesting change of pace after the rest period of the previous book (which I liked too, but in a different way.) Only think I wasn't really keen on was how the whole wind of ka thing send various folks to different time zones. I like how the Manni were utilized in opening the door, I just thought sending the characters to their various times could have been done better, since the wind/door thing never happened before. I didn't actually dislike the scene, it just seemed a bit too convenient. (For the plot, it was most inconvenient for the charcters.)
It had a comic moment though with Oy shooting past Eddies head 'barking like a..." Sorry I don't use that language, but it's funny.
As for the rest of the book, a great fast pace read. I like Susannah as a character, and it was interesting that she became so central since most of the time we see things from the point of view of either Eddie or Jake before then.
One critcism that used to be on DT.net was that they disliked the way SoS ended on a cliffhanger. I never really had a problem with that though since it wasn't as if we had to wait long for DT7. Unlike those poor folk who had to wait ages for the resolution of the riddling contest on Blaine at the end of the Waste Lands. I was somewhat fortunate as I started reading the DT books in the time period between the publishing of Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. I still had quite a wait, but not as long as some.
