Everyone
puts out a duff book at times - and I think it's more likely later on in a career, because of the temptation to not go that extra mile because you know it's going to sell like hot cakes anyway, and you've the fan-base already.
How many times do you read the comment "Oh I really liked the earlier books, but he/she's gone off a bit now!" or something similar? From Jordan to Rowling - it's probably one of the commonest comments.

I agree - and it doesn't matter a tinker's damn what I think or say, because no-one is going to make a decision on whether to read WoT based on what my opinion is - it's just an opinion, and if I can't express it here, of all places, then we all might as well go home!
