Actually what I found frustrating was that there was some great characterization work in the opening chapters and then it was all thrown out of the window! That's where I lost interest and never regained it, though I ploughed through to the end.

But in book 2 and 3 much less effort is put into character because I think the grand narrative already took off and it doesn't make sense to go back for individuals anymore. There are exceptions of course.
