The author‘s scene and battle descriptions are immersive, as if watching a high-end Hollywood blockbuster, but the plot progression is inevitably a little too slow. The stories in the first two books don‘t really tell much, the transitional nature is strong, and the real plot explosion is concentrated in the third book. And I feel that the author‘s ability in plot design is even inferior to George Martin.
Also, I was very frustrated by the dark ending of the third book, as if only the most cruel and evil people could have a good ending, while the good people lost almost everything, and everything returned to the beginning. Bayaz‘s portrayal of Gandalf as the evil version was indeed impressive, so much so that I wanted to rush into the book and beat him up. Except for him, everyone else lost miserably (except perhaps that evil Inquisitor).

The unpredictable and nonconformist ending is what makes it great, IMO.
