Interesting that you should say that... Actually, I feel rather similar about them. The later books just aren't nearly as interesting. They focus way to much on philosophical perspectives of the author and far too little on actual plot movement.
I have forgotten what in particular Soul of Fire was about, but the last book I can even remember liking was the one about the plague, which I'm thinking was probably Temple of Winds.
So yeah... The first few I enjoyed immensely, the later ones have made me sad that the series keeps continuing. Kind of like the Wheel of Time series... it just never ends!
