We bought the last one, but both my husband and I thought it was a bit self-indulgent. It could use some editing, in my opinion. Too many trips to lessons with too many of the same-old same-old stuff happening.
Ah, well. All good fantasy classics take a trip into the self indulgent and the overly descriptive (and even repetitive on occasion); I believe that it is just what the good, patterned after the greats, do. You learn to put up with it for the sake of the story - and, the story is the all important thing.
I am debating going at Midnight - just because I think it would be cool to do that HERE. I wouldn't even give it a second thought in the States, I would just wait 'til a decent hour, and say, "Are you kidding? I have to work in the morning!" But, as I say, here is different. However, I will still have to wait until after my husband reads it. ~~sigh~~ And, he reads slower than I do. I probably won't get around to reading it until the end of August or after!
