Let me just add to this:
If we are supposed to take this straight as Neiderman's way of continuing the saga, I think most people would be inclined to think it's a very poor creative choice way of doing it.
But that being said there is still at least one whole book left to be told. So it is entirely possible for there to be a promotional purpose all just a dream, a MSA-esque conspiracy reveal or just even for the sake of it a "he's not who he claims to be" twist.
If any such thing happens, my opinion of the series as a whole may change, but if it doesn't, I think i'll just go about pretending what I suggested above and whenever asks say I preferred the books of the first much better then the second.
But even then I hate when people try to tell me I shouldn't want to intake something. After all what's the freaking point, I want to read/watch/play it and form my own opinion. So while I think so far there's some interesting merits I'd say it seems most people come out more "mad" then "disappointed" from these reads (check out Amazon or Goodreads) but I'm more on the "disappointed" side. I'm not going to tell anyone not to read this, but I just caution that's so far it seems to not really be what most expected or wanted.
