Not that book 10 wasn't incredible, but was the reason behind this to catch the other story lines up to the present time?

When I was a boy, just old enough to be starting to date in a fumbling way, I complained something about girls. And my father said to me, "Would you rather hunt leopards or would you rather hunt rabbits? Which is going to be more fun?" And I decided I'd rather hunt leopards.	View More Details
