It gets worse. Anyone will tell you that.

Why did you continue if you didn't like the first book?

It's way too long for no reason. If he really wanted to make huge epic world #365 it should of been segmented into different trilogies with focus on specific characters/factions then a final trilogy bringing it all together.
