Slower but Still Great

Similar to wine, Bruce Dickinson's voice has gotten better with time, and this album proves it. This album may not be as hard or as fast as their earlier great albums but this album is still incredible. With the original line-up from Number Of The Beast album entact, Maiden has written some great songs that beckon to be sung along with no matter how far away your voice is compared to Bruce's. Just like the part where you stand up, point to the heavens and start singing with the song "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (you know what part I'm talking about) you'll be doing the same for the song "Blood Brothers" as well as many of the other well written, good ol' rocking songs on this album. Great road album too, with a few faster songs mixed with the mostly slower songs. Now if they just come to tour around Tampa.

It's not like the previous books, this one is slower but still interesting enough to keep you readding. I'll definitely keep on readding the series

I love this series but this, the third in the series, tends to drag just a bit. The characters didn't appear as fully developed as in the first two but is worth reading if you like the series.

The book was pretty slow out of the gate. It seemed like the first 60 pages reminiscing about how things used to be and all of the things that was missed. I came close to just giving up on it. But once the action picked up, it moved at a better pace. As the previous book, this one was very well thought out and paints a realistic potential scenario of life after an EMP strike. If you liked One Second After, you will like One Year After as well. Just be patient when you start it.

I was unhappy with the long wait before Dance was finally released, and I was not going to continue with the series.  However, after 4 weeks, I gave in and bought the book, and I'm glad I did.  I actually enjoyed the slower pace and feeling at home again in Westeros, and also enjoyed the new points of view such as Victarion (very funny) and Barristan. It was also good to hear from Tyrion and Jon Snow again.  I was surprised by the Cersei storyline; it was almost heartbreaking it was so lovingly written.  The Dany storyline was OK, but it could have been cut back.  I liked this book better than Feast, although it looks as though I am in the minority with that opinion.  It is not in the same league as SOS, (which I would give 5 stars), but I'm not sure I would like that level of intensity and fear in every book. For me, every book in the series has its own purpose and personality and this book gave me a lot more enjoyment than I was expecting based on all of the poor reviews.  I still love this series and will continue reading as long as there are books to be read.

Calamaty is one of my fav series look forward to reading and have had to wait a while a few times. This time a little bit of a let down not enough Rick. And it was slower going in the beginning .Mystery took a long time to come together but then once it picked up it was great. Loved a new character that was put in.

Awesome book - it didn't seem to move as quickly as the first 2 in the series.  Not sure if it was the writing or just me getting a bit burned out on all of it.  Still loved the entire series.

As always, BB writes beautifully. The characters are complex and engaging. But this one--late in the series--moves a little too slowly and does not add significantly to what we know from earlier books about the abuse of young women and adoption in Ireland and about the horrors perpetrated by the church.  Quirke seems just to flail around in his problems rather than develop forward or backward.

I like the series, but find that it drags a little. But, all in all, it is a fun read.

I really like this album, but don't love it as much as the first.  However, there are still some great songs on this one.  Spring Break Anthem, The Golden Rule, Semicolons, and You've Got the Look are fantastic.  The others are good too, just not as good.

I loved the first two books, the 3rd started off so slow and it really bothered me how much she dragged mare's capture out. I didn't like the different characters pov. (I would however like to read a book about Evangeline). Not as much action as I was hoping for but this is a good 3rd installment to red Queen. I can't wait for the 4th book.

This book moves a bit slower than the previous four;  it is still a great read with the introduction of more interesting characters and vivid details of what  daily life might have been like for people during that particular time and place.

I enjoyed the majority of this book but it was bit slow in many places.  Fortunately, the same is not true for the other books in the series as the author picked up the pace quite a bit making me stay up later than I should have trying to read as much as I could.

It's a bit slow..."atmospheric", but nonetheless pretty good.
