I wish I could put my finger on the issues I have with this series. Part of it is that I don't like wars and fighting much, but it's more than that. I really love a lot of the plot points, but I run out of patience waiting for them to happen. I like the characters, but not enough to invest heavily in the plot.
I guess with this one I was hoping that it might have a bit of resolution. Although there are some major reveals that are highly rewarding, it's also obvious as we get to the final parts of the book that we are far from the end of this epic.
