I felt some unnecessary filler in both Book 4 and 5, and Book 5 ends on some ridiculous cliffhangers. Very unsatisfying I thought that certain events, which were built up throughout the entire book, didn't happen in the end... and now we wait 4-7 years for them. Bleh.

Book 4 is very jarring right after Book 3, with a bunch of characters absent (either now dead or left out for Book 5), and totally new locations. It does get better towards the end. With all the books, I will say that they start sloooooow, very fucking slow. I think that it makes the pay off better maybe, but I'm not sure. Sometimes I feel like shit rambles on.

Having said all that negativity.... they're still awesome. Book 3 being by FAR the best. Maybe the best book I've ever read? Can't think of any others. Going to re-read them over the summer on my nice new kindle.
