Finished the Demon Cycle series by Peter Brett. Pretty enjoyable, though... I've realized that binging big series like this might not be the best option for me. There's a push/pull between immersion and fatigue. On one hand, I love to just live in that world for a prolonged period. On the other, I feel like I might become a little number to the world and am just sprinting through the books to finish them and reach the conclusion at a certain point.
As for thoughts specific to this series: the Krasian names and titles were awful (I know there was a glossary), but I couldn't help but get so freaking confused on who was who among the Krasians. That also might be a result of me sprinting the series, though.

I got burned out on them. I made it to the 3rd book and couldn’t do it anymore. I need to pick it back up

I think that's more due to the last three books of the demon cycle series not being nearly as good as the first couple. It becomes a slog at a certain point. The Middle Eastern style main character whose name I can't remember just isn't nearly as interesting as Arlen either, which hurts the series IMO.
I think it finished reasonably well with the last book, but I had to power through to finish myself.
