Does it get any better? Most of the critiques I've heard of the series is that the first 3-5 books are worth reading and then they decline rapidly in quality. If you've read the series, please let me know what ya think of it. My pals recs are 3 in favor of trying at least 1 more, 2 saying quit while I'm ahead...

It took me awhile to start the series. I stayed with it to the tenth volume, which was too long IMO. I'm with DiapDealer on this.
I think it went from being a pretty good story to one that was milked beyond dryness. But if you've got the time, read another one.
I think WofT ruined me for epic fantasy.
