I can't stand those books. Anderson's writing is like a 5th grade report. Tell them what you are going to say. Say it. Tell them what you told them.

He may need a recap of what each character is thinking and feeling every 3 or 4 chapters, I don't.

Plus Frank would let the world be background for the story. All 'world building' is only in focus when interacting with the story and characters. World building for its own sake seems masturbatory to me.
