If the character is well developed, the reader does not need the writer to explain the actions. The reader should already understand their actions because the writer has properly taken them inside the head of the character.
Is it too long? A bit early for me to determine that. Right now, through my eyes, saying this book is too long is like saying the Sistine Chapel has too much paint on the ceiling. |
Wow! That sounds insulting for Michaelangelo. You say the writer is weak and has major writing flaws and yet you proclaim it a masterpiece like the Sistine Chapel?
