Cool Brandon Sanderson ??

Am I alone - having finished Book 3 - in feeling Sanderson has done the old "hitting the buffers at No. 3 in a series" trick ?

I felt the re-interpretation of minor incidents/events to move the story on / provide enough material to, justify Book 3 a bit obvious, enough for me to notice it, at least.
And, for me, he did go on a bit on the mystic/philosophical side, frankly - particularly towards the latter parts.
Found myself skipping bits, to be honest.
And it did seem - in a fairly predictable manner - the tale has run its course....
Now I see there's another !

Now I wouldn't say the crime's anywhere near the scale of our George R.M., and the Ice, Blood, and make it up any old way series of course - but enough for me to ask for opinions as to whether ( noting the above ) it's worth giving Book 4 a look ?
