“The Fires of Heaven” was good read but now waiting to read book 11 I’m just trying to get to the end of the series (started reading back in 1992, I think).

My main problem is that you get too many minor characters and the time scale of each book compresses as it goes on - from 1-2 years in “Eye of the World” through to a day or so in one volume.

In the words of more than one character sniff!

Good concept, just not brought to climax or closure in a compentent manner.

Having said that, I enjoyed the standalone prequel “New Spring” that I have on its own and part of the good fantasy anthology “Legends”.

BTW- found a helpful summary of the first 10 books at www.dragonmount.com to bring me back up to speed for #11.
