Understood, but as I have said multiple times, I gave plenty of compliments at the beginning of the post.
No, you didn't. One sentence of "this was good" followed by paragraphs of "this was bad", does not a balanced review make. Also, each book is a discrete unit, with its own pros and cons. When you didn't repeat the compliments for WoA and HoA it implied that they didn't have those positive things.
Basically, your review makes it seem like WoA and HoA are nothing but boring exposition fests when they aren't.
Also, I didn't find any of the reminders boring or out of place. IIRC, most of the reminders about Kelsier had to do with expanding upon the religion that had formed around him. When Vin notices the Spear necklace and wonders if it's meant to represent the spear the Lord Ruler used on Kelsier or the one she used on the Lord Ruler, it is perfectly natural and flows excellently with the story. I recall most of your other examples being similarly well placed in the narrative, although I'd have to check to make sure.
Have you read the post or this thread?
Let's look at the post. 1st I post good review scores. Then I count 8 other praiseworthy points.
"Interesting world, unique races, fun characters, unique magic-like system, well paced, plenty of unexpected twists, and just the right amount of description. The ending was decent as well. Very good."
Then I go on to describe 2-3 bad things that only affected the 2nd and 3rd books. I needed to describe them in detail so the points could be understood. All of the positives were self-explanatory. Why should I go on and on about positives that are quite obvious? The negatives needed explanation.
9/3 sounds pretty balanced to me.
I also gave pages and paragrpahs with examples of the repetitive reminders. Go look them up. Who knows... Maybe 2-5 times each book you had forgotten how Vin grew up, or forgot how the lord ruler was killed and needed the reminder...
