Huge Krynn fan here too. My annoyance with the mega-novels are the sheer number of characters and threads which are happening simultaneously. In the Wheel of Time there are three main characters - which is a reasonable number of threads - but in one of the books, one of them was hardly included at all. It's weird coming back to a character after 300, 400, or even 600 pages. They start to feel like afterthoughts. And GOT is even worse. There are dozens of threads and some of the characters names are similar enough to be annoying.
