I think one of the main problems with the latter books was that there was no sense of moving toward an end or resolution to the main plot line. It didn't help that we had to wait 2-3 years before the next installment, so I think these latter books may be better when read straight through.

That's good to know. I've been meaning to pick up the series, but have been delaying it due to complaints about the later books dragging on. You are probably right about latter books being better when read straight through. I read the first 70 or so "Fables" comic books, and now that for the last two years I've had to wait a month for each new installment I find that the series reads much better when read straight through. I think I'll bump up WOT on my TBR list.
