It's not nearly on the same level as the original Chronicles, but I wonder how much of that is because of how old I was when I first read those. I've re-read the Chronicles many, many times (literally wore the cover off Dragons of Autumn Twilight), and they still seem like much better books than the newer versions. I still love the universe and characters though, so they're entertaining.
