Those three books are among my personal favorites
but I totally understand about the books becoming repetetive. The stretch that's primarily set in SnowDancer (books 9, 10, 11) always makes me tired of the phrase "predatory changeling male."
I keep trying to read new-to-me books in between my rereads like I usually do, but it is just not working for me this year. And I know it's me, so I haven't made myself continue reading any of them as that seems unfair to the books. Whereas I have reread this series multiple times now and consider the books comfort reads. But I have been watching various TV shows and movies in between books so I do give my brain a bit of a break.
I think the repetitiveness factor happens with every author. It's the main reason I rarely glom a new-to-me author's backlist in quick succession anymore. It's too easy to get burnout. For whatever reason it's usually not as off putting when I reread.
