I've given up.
I found 4 went on a bit, but 5 - totally new characters we're assumed to "know" without any back history, and I don't care about about, more complicated side stories and expansions, more and more words, basically ....rather self-indulgent is the sort of feeling I get.
Painted himself into a corner - should have stopped at three, perhaps with bit bigger books for leeway,with an ending of some sort.
Or perhaps he doesn't have one yet.........
