After reading through the entire series (well, the 9 existing books), I came to the same conclusion as most. The last few books were a serious let down. However, the more I thought about it, the more I see that the last few books aren't as good as the earlier WOT volumes, but compared to most fantasy works out there, they are top notch. Be happy that you have been spoiled by this magnificent series and get off Jordan's back.
