Query: How the mighty have fallen. . .

The series started off strong, and became even stronger. It soared to amazing heights in books 3 and 4, but quickly took the plunge afterwards. By the time book 6 comes along, the characters have nearly become unbearable, and the plot has dissolved into people winking around from place to place with none of the excitement of the journeys found in previous books. It seems to me that the plot has become so complex that Jordan is drowning in it, and no longer sees the overall flow of the story. I read book 7, and it was slightly better, but I'm still debating whether or not to continue the series.
