Query: Same old

I enjoyed the 1st book of the series, however, by the time I reached book four I could care less about most of the characters. In addition, I found myself interested in only a few of the many plots, and completely fed up with the writing style (every woman is folding their arms under their breasts, and every man's face, it seems, is "carved out of stone"). I awaited a likable female character, but only manipulative annoyances were introduced. I know this sounds like a cliche, but I honestly wanted some of the main characters to be killed off, although I got the impression that the author intended for me to like these characters. One last side note to those who read these reviews: I have found it helpful to skip the reviews that claim that the book in question was THE best or worst book ever written.
