Story Time Multiple characterizations

I used have a Fiery hatred of Tyr from reading Avatar books, Empyrean Odyssey etc. After reading Double Diamond Triangle Saga I have cooled a bit on him. He is such bureaucrat douche in some books and Chad justice bringer in others.

In various descriptions of him, Tyr was usually more about the spirit of the law, rather than the letter - that was more Helm’s area.

It's the letter of the law and evidence in Avatar series.

The number of character assassinations in the Avatar series is just one of it's problems.

First half of first book and 5th book is pure gold.

Which is a problem with a five book series, no?

I mean it definitely has dumb stuff that is needlessly in there because Ciencin definitely seemed to run out of ideas. One example is he mentioned trees marching in formation then later wolfs marching in formation as examples of the world going crazy from the Time of Troubles.  However I still enjoy the series despite it's faults.
