This series starts out very good and would still have this credit to its account except it is easy to see that Mr. Wight is doing what all writers of lengthy sagas do and that is turning what should be one volume into two or three. More volumes equals more sales. I am sure I am not revealing anything that is not plain to see but it gets so tiresome to see this type cheap exploitation of avid and loyal fans. I probably will not go further into the series. Its a shame really.
