I could be misjudging because I read his Stormlight books with large gaps of time between readings but the first book, as I recall, was excellent while the later books quickly fell into YA territory for me. It seems to me that he either has found that his audience is much younger than I am and they crave a different writing style which he is happy to cater to or he is simply trying to write too much and doesn't spend enough time fleshing out descriptions. His sentences structures are bland as well.
The Wheel of Time for all of its warts sets a precedent in terms of how a world can be described all the way down to differences in clothing styles. Granted it did get a bit wearing reading about what people were wearing. So it was a bit extreme, but I find myself missing that in other books I read.
