(although I have liked a lot of bits of the later ones)
Agreed, although I have often felt that the later ones didn't need to be as many books as they are—I recognize that the Overton window for chronology got really crunched after Seeker's Mask, but three or four novels to cover Jame's time at Tentir does not necessarily feel like the correct pacing. (I was honestly always vaguely hoping Hodgell would realize the ancient internet joke that after God Stalk taking a year, Dark of the Moon taking a month, and Seeker's Mask taking a week, naturally To Ride a Rathorn would be the Ulysses of the Kencyrath, with Jame getting up at the start of the day and Tentir collapsing in ruins by midnight.)
