I've been thinking since about Merry-Gentry book three that LKH's proper medium would be television. She's stopped writing self-contained stories with a plot arc that resolves neatly at the end (which is what novels are supposed to be). Now she's writing stories that continue seamlessly from one book to the next, have tons of plotlines, and never really resolve anything. That's the description of soap operas. If these stories were presented as TV shows then the short, frequent updates would work much better.
