I did. I read all of those books all the way through, although in some cases I kind of wish I hadn't.
I believe I took a break to read something else in the middle of Gardens of the Moon, but I do remember it being better in the second half. It still felt like a semi-random series of unmotivated events. I didn't feel there was any kind of dynamic structure to it, just cataclysm upon cataclysm, with no build-up, no anticipation, no suspense.
I have heard that the second one is much better, but I'm not sure I'm willing to put the effort it. I'm not short of reading material.
