Not sure if the later books just aren't as good or if we get jaded. At one time while travelling via Greyhound, I picked up a book to read. It turned out to be the 4th book in a series and I enjoyed it. When I got home, I picked up the 3 earlier books and they didn't seem up to the same quality. When I finished those three, I re-read the 4th book and realized that the characters and setting were no longer new to me so I paid more attention to the details of and the flaws in the story.
