Review: Interesting characters. Pretty good job with a tough theme

Enjoyed the series though book five was way too short.  I think this is the first series I've read where the world was created by a god who is trying to find meaning. They are usually all knowing. Wasn't sure in some cases if the character being portrayed were supposed to be good or evil which I suppose goes along with the search for purpose and which in the end I thought was well done. I wouldn't say the books are great but  I applaud the effort to deal with such an ambitious project. Not quite up there with the Malazans or the Wheel of time but a decent effort and there is a lot left to deal with.  The author says he is going to write shorter books to get more out in a shorter time which I hope he doesn't do. One of my pet peeves is short books, of course I hate it when it takes years for the next book to come out (Peter Brett!)
