I've read the series from Book one to ten at least half a dozen tmes, and you can really see how he seemed to have lost focus on the ending sometime around book 4 or 5. I actually stopped reading around Book ten, deciding to only go back when the last book in the series comes out.

I've read the first 6, and I will read the rest but right now I need a bit of a break from the story. Book 4 has been the best so far IMHO. What drives me up the wall is the detail and pages he will spend describing a character who plays a minor role in the story, and which none of that description has anything to do with the story at hand. There is that, and during the first 4 books every single room that had a lit fire let out light but no heat - all I wanted was to read about a warm fire for once!!
I will finish it, I already have book 7,8 and 10.
