Hyperion is mostly OK, and should maybe not be in the list, but the third book, Endymion, is basically a giant chase, and I found it weaker than the first two.

For my defense, I have not read WoT or Sword of Truth because of their terrible reputation. But I have read the Belgariad, I can't really say it is getting worse, because it was not really good in the first place.
- will_work4tears 12y agoTotally agree with your impressions of the Belgariad. I had a friend that just loved it and it was kinda... meh. I'm also with you on Endymion, the second part of the series was seriously lacking the same quality of the first two books. Also, for whatever it's worth, I've never read ASOIAF, though I've tried a couple times. Never could get into it. I kept getting the whole WOT vibe from it too (too many characters, too many subplots).
