I was hooked after reading the first book of this series. The plot moved quickly, it was interesting, the characters well fleshed out. The excellent writing continued for several more books. Mr. Jordan, what happened to you? The last two books are dead in the water. NOTHING, I mean NOTHING interesting happens to the story or the characters! What is the point of writing two entire books which do nothing to advance the plot? Set-up is good and necessary but only the amount of set-up which is relevant and assists the reader. I am extremely disppointed that I just read an entire book in which no plot advancement occurs. I'm sure I'll keep reading, because I do want to know what happens to these characters in the end, but let's get a move on, here!
