[Sephiroth]

I enjoyed the first seven without qualification. The last four have been a bit disappointing, though, and especially the last two. I don't understand why they suddenly became shorter after book seven. The only one of the four that really felt 'finished' to me was book nine, and that's mainly because it has such a good ending.

I'll still finish the series, though, and I'll probably read all of them again before book twelve comes out; while I have some complaints, I still love the stories (and the characters) enough to forgive these flaws.
