Some of my favorite scenes are with Kalam, and his final disagreement with Pearl is a lot of fun (IIRC ... I have trouble remembering the whole cast). Can't say I'd miss Pearl though.
Reaper's Gale is good, but takes a strange turn. It seems black semen is something other authors feel important to include in there books as well lol. Toll The Hounds might be my favorite of the set, with Dust of Dreams tied for worst with House of Chains. Crippled God ends fine enough to make it worth while. So ... You're almost there! Some great books ahead of you, and one that's disappointing (don't let it stop you!).
