I think it will be way too hard to resolve all plot lines into one
final book no matter how long it is. I fear the ending will be weak
and much will remain unexplained.
Mind you this is not the first time I've experienced this. I've read
several fantasy series which have started out great but the endings
have been weak ... the Death Gate Cycle and Rift War Saga come to
mind. However this has not stopped me from enjoying the books. In fact
the only series I've read of recent times that I felt ended well was
Harry Potter! ;-)
Don't get me wrong, I believe the journey is just as im****tant as
arriving at a destination. RJ certainly achieves this with his smooth
and descriptive writing style.
