A word of warning, I'm hoping for spoilers in answer to my questions so be wary of this post if you haven't read the book yet.

First of all, I was almost completely lost by the time I finished reading The Dust of Dreams last year. I know to fully appreciate this concluding book I should probably go back and re-read the series, but I just can't motivate myself to do it.

Is it worth reading The Crippled God now, even if I'm at a bit of a loss for where teh story is at?

Basically, I just want to find out what happens to Ganoes Paran. He was my favorite character from the start, and the only character I really ever felt compelled to find out where he ends up. Is he even in this book? If so how big of a part does he play?

I've enjoyed this series more or less, but towards the last few volumes I just haven't been able to get into them. I probably spent to much time in between each volume, but though thought of re-reading 9 books just so I can finish the tenth terrifies me.
