I've only read part of the 1st novel in adaptation as a graphic novel form and it seemed okay, if a bit generic fantasy-chosen-farmboy-overturns-evil-quest trope, but from all accounts, it's an unfinished bottomless pit of a series which will not die even though the original author did.
Sure, Tor says that the final volume is underway, but a couple of years ago they said there would be a wrap-up volume to finish the series, which soon expanded to 3 wrap-up volumes just to take care of all the dangling plot stuff. I would not personally wager money on this finally-final volume actually being the last one that gets written.
But hey, the 1st half of the 1st book is only 99 cents, so at least it will be cheap to give a try.
