User blog comment:Godisme/Dance Practice, A Drop of Time and Gift/@comment-8760174-20130705170912

I don't know, I didn't really think Dance Practice was [i]that[/i] bad. It provided some much needed comic relief/relaxation time, which was definitely needed [i]for the characters[/i] after they fought dragons. Just saying. If you're telling a story, you can't really just always 'keep it interesting' and give the readers all they want - a filler chapter is always necessary to link events together. What would the point be in just skipping from action scene to action scene?
