The first half of the last book bored me to tears. It picked up a bit when we found Verity, but what the heck happened at the end? Did she run out of time or something? I got to about 96% and was wondering how all the loose ends (from what felt like a lifetime ago!) would get tied up. Then the last 20 pages or so turned into a complete farce; all tell and no show. It was really unsatisfying, despite holding some potentially satisfying climaxes.
I guess once you've unleashed the 'nuclear deterent' of dragons it'd all be over pretty quickly, and I guess I liked the white ship explanation, but I wanted to be shown all that stuff, not told it in one long "this is what happened next" passage. Poor writing.
Yet I'm still intrigued to see what happens in the Tawny Man books. So it can't have been too bad? Or maybe I'm just suffering from Stockholm syndrome after being in that universe for a couple of months.
