I don't like either selection. I don't like being over loaded with physical descriptions of people. I'm far more accepting of physical landscape descriptions and such though. I don't need to know every detail of a character immediately, but I do like to know how a character looks as the story progresses. If I'm still guessing by the end of the third book.. I'll be pretty annoyed.
So... I like reading and learning how people and settings look/seem to be through out the book.
