This series can be broken in 2 parts. The first 3 books form the main story arc while the last book seems an afterthought and the "action" happens a while after the events in the first 3 books.
The firat 2 books are pretty good. It's somehow refreshing to read a fantasy book in which the main character is not the usual guy but a middle aged woman. The book pacing is good with the action flowing nicely. I was pleasantly surprised by the series when i finished the second book. But the disaster stroke....i don't know what happened because the third book (which ends the main story arc) just plain sucks. Topped by a crappy unsatisfactory ending.
You could get away without reading the last book (and you won't miss much) but if you decide to read it.....simply put it it's just meh.
