Jordan started this neverending saga of books and Goodking is following his lead. The last Goodkind book has almost no bearing on the main story, it could be a novel unto itself.
As for Jordan, his story is never ending and he is filling his pages with repeated character deveoping trash. His characters are having the same insights and the same people are described in every book recently, it is just endless...
SPOILER AHEAD (no fancy invisible ones for me)

I'm on page 500 of his newest book and they haven't even covered Rand yet or his cleansing of Saidin. It is completely frustrating and, for the first time in his series, I'm starting to skip paragraphs because I can't stand it anymore. It is so slooooooooow. I don't think I'll be spending any money on the next book.
On a separate note, I met Jordan a couple of weeks ago on a flight to San Diego. By the baggage claim I asked him when he was planning on wrapping up the story and he walked off in a huff with his small entourage following...I take that as a bad sign.
