One question, since I wanna move it tomorrow: are you guys fans of the travelling bits or not? 

What I mean is, there's a lot of sections in fantasy works where characters just walk through the world and when there's not much action, only dialogue and descriptions of the landscape through which they pass. I mean, it's good for character interaction/development, but some people hate those bits. Do you mind parts like that or do you want us to skip those parts?
