The first three or four books are their own little world and then the next however many are their own and then things just go all to pieces when it becomes apparent that she meant it when she said no one important to Anita would die, so the ever expanding cast of characters grows wildly out of control. Couple that with her very obvious personal issues with anyone she's based a character on and a host of other things and it's a recipe for pain.
I loved the first three Merry books. ♥ I still remember getting a 2am call from the person I told to read the books when she read the scene where Andais goes on a rampage through the guards.
Merry's books I think are stuck in a holding pattern of she has no idea what to do with them so she's been stalling for time. She can't even manage that any more so Merry's been put on the backburner. Which I'm torn about because I like Merry but I don't really want her to write another one while she's still very much against writing it. It'll just end badly. Or in a fit of "...seriously?" Again.
