Sadly the story is spiraling further down.
Just when I started to like the series more with book 3, the next two books were not worth the effort.
The main characters are getting more annoying (except Mat, who was annoying in the previous books, but bounces back a little). The endless whining about the other gender by both male and female characters wears out. I have still hope for the last three books, as they are written by Brandon Sanderson, a writer I like very much.

I will read book 6 (Lord of Chaos) next month. When it is no better than this one was, I will read the summaries of the next books and go ahead to book 12 The Gathering Storm.
