I am currently taking a break from the series to read Duma Key.

I felt like the Series really went downhill with book 4.
It lost me at book 5 or 6, part way through. I can't recall which.
After awhile the manners and personalities of the characters start to seem cliched. Does every female in the series have to be unreasonably angry all the time and cross her arms under her breasts? Do none of them have any hidden motives or slyness?
I really liked the series early, In fact for awhile I considered it the best fantasy fiction I had read, but somewhere around 4000-5000 pages the sameness of it really starts to get on your nerves.
Now I've moved on to George Martin series, A Song of Ice and Fire. This truly is the greatest fantasy series ever.
