Query: still hanging in there

this is fairly typical of the last few books in the series, unresolved sub plots, shoddy editing, implausible scenarios. But the next one starts getting the series back on track.The thing that disturbs me most is that the author barely mentioned an important recurring character at the beginning of book 16, killed the character off at the end of book 17 after not being mentioned anywhere else in the story, and then in books 18 and 19 acted as if the character disappeared in book 16 not 17. He's writing the books so fast he can't even keep track of his own characters.
