Query: What an awful pile of dung !

I liked the first four books. They were definately gory at times and certainly frustrating but at least they held my attention. The new characters are completely unsympathetic and boring. I can't stand how the old characters never seem to learn from their mistakes. It's like a bad episode of Three's Company. You know the one about the misunderstanding ... TG spends three books convincing us that Kahlin is an intelligent, capable, strong woman who really has her sh-t together and then she is replaced with Lucy Ricardo. I almost crawled out of my skin with the whole Marlin business in the begining of book 4 and don't even get me started about the whole "Chicken that is not a chicken" bit. I actually put the book down (something I never do) and I may never finish it.
