I don't agree that Ghost Story was a weak book that should have been done any different. It has a slightly different writing style that expertly portrays the situation at hand. Different but still the same.
Spoiler:
After Changes there had to be something a little bit different. After all, it did change things quite a bit. You cannot top it without making Changes less intense as it was meant to be a big boom. A boom that required a long recovery.

I wouldn't attribute Ghost Story to unfortunate life events. Unfortunate life events appear to put a complete stop to his writing, not a degrade in quality.
