I remember thinking at the time that now that he had an audience, he could write the high fantasy he really preferred to write.

It's been years since I read these...so I picked up Storm Front to do a re-read to refresh my memory. But I can't read them one after the other - I remember that almost every book ended in a way that cost Harry more and more. I think if I read them one-after-the-other, I'd just end up depressed and give up.
