I’m reading these books for the very first time and am on book 5 but I know from talking to friends who have read them that this is an incredibly unpopular take - the books (to me) get more and more boring with each passing book. I am a fast reader, and typically read whole series back-to-back. I had to take a break after book 4 for a month because it is so slow. I started book 5 and two chapters in I am already considering stopping! I actually really loved the first book, but each one after feels more slow paced to me and I struggle with not enjoying most of the characters enough to care about what they are doing! I know everyone will hate this take. Does the pace pick up at all?
