It is contentious because of how much of a change it is relative to the books before, but every time I work my way through the series I enjoy Ghost Story more.
I'm continuing to make my way through the Amra Thetys Series by Michael McClung. I’m On Book 3, The Thief Who Knocked On Sorrow's Gate. It is a super cliché, but fun Chosen One who is a Super Thief has to save the world type series.
