Then the pace of adventures unabated throughout the book. The battles are neither too long nor too many. The author has put action through other means like the episode of Jimmy burglary. Once again, the author has avoided the lengths of such quests that appear in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
Finally, the author has also been able to change his story. Here it is more about personal quest: the characters will discover new skills, new talents, and progress within society. And, above all, the author introduces new "bad guys". He flirts with the books then horror or bit-bed; which is not displeasing to the reader.
