When Red Seas under Red Skies came out, I thought it looked damn interesting and I had forgotten the first review, so I purchased the first book and devoured it and loved it. I read the second book shortly afterwards and I was pretty disappointed. It felt like a far cry from the brilliance of the first book. I am not sure why, as it was several years ago.
