These books are terrible!! What-ever you do DO NOT start reading them. He has way way too many plot-lines going, I think he gets tired of them and just drops them or maybe forgets about them, so some prominent characters just suddenly dissappear.
The characters are NOT well thought out or defined, and he has them doing stupid and un-characteristic things, or stupidly getting into trouble and then miraculously getting rescued.
He has too many characters and locations going, its almost impossible to keep things straight. In this last book he has two characters that occur in many of the same scenes one named Pelivar and one names Perival!@@ How stupid is that?

I think this is the 11th book in this series and its still not completed. With a good editor, who wasn’t afraid to cut out wasteful or irrelevant text or plot lines these 11 books may have made a nice trilogy.
