Agreed that it's frustrating. Though, as others here have opined, I think he probably ran into a wall and got so frustrated, he needed to step away from it for awhile, which I can respect. His latest "Not a Blog" entries have been optimistic, it seems he's working his way through the Mereneese Knot. I really hope future books come more quickly, that he's solved most of the problems in book 5....
