Did anyone read this?

Totally agree with your comments on WOT series Moraine - it's a bit like a CRPG where you battle through all the monsters and dungeons hoping that the prize at the end is going to be worth it. I have found the journey thus far to be fascinating, and look forward to a great ending sequence (I hope). The story is so complex that I usually pick up the previous 1 or 2 books about a month before the release date of the next installment.

The trouble with this - as with many other series - is that publishers push the author to keep on writing WAY past the natural end. Which is why the books get boring. The best writers stop while the readers are still begging for more, and go on to write something different.
Can you imagine being a writer and desperately wanting to dump a scenario so you can do something else, but your publisher only wants what you have always done before - and you need the cash?!
Not many writers can produce 4+ novels in a series and still be brilliant.
