Bad Book--good Author

Anybody read this kind of thing before?
Well, I love Tamora Pierce, but her Circle Opens books were-shall I say-terrible. (To put it politley). Anyway, does anyone agree? Or has anyone felt the same way?

What made them terrible? Was it that she entered a realm that she is not known for? Such as writing fiction when she is best suited for romance?

I found the writing to be very bland, that is all. I'm also a bit more fond of her Tortall quartets. These are in a different, less interesting place--I believe.

Very strange. I read the headline of this topic, and was going to post that Tamora Pierce was horribly mistaken by writing that series.

But you already have. Great minds think alike, eh? Sorry for my cliche-ness.

I think a good example of that would be The Lost World by Michael Crichton. He's a generally good author, and I like his work, but this sequal of Jurassic Park seemed to be done just for Sequality's sake, with no extra thought put into it. I was pretty dissapointed

I am a huge Robert Jordan fan, and as I read New:Spring The Novel (his new prequel) I was thoroughly disappointed. It was not bad, but compared to his other works, it was bland and simple. His complex world was not depicted as it was in his other novels. I still say it is worth the read because it is also shorter than his other books, but it is not up-to-par with the rest of the Wheel of Time Series (which I recommend to everyone! they dwarf the Lord of the Rings and every other fantasy series).
