Which is that the novels could have been better if there was more menace presented on the part of the 'bad guys'. There are a few points in time where I felt like the Dark had something going for it (the Gholam in particular had a great entry, killing off Herid Fel, and there have been times when even the inept Forsaken seemed scary) but these moments are too few and far between.
I do enjoy the character development of the Light, but I would have enjoyed the series up to now more if the villains were (a) less transparent and (b) represented a real threat.

RJ finally got a villain right, then killed him in the same book.

The Forsaken are not THE villain(s), they are cannon fodder!

Cannoli misses the point. The Forsaken are all villains. It is the Dark One that is the true evil

The Forsaken are henchmen. Like the eels in The Little Mermaid or the hyenas in The Lion King

Absolutely correct, but you miss the point.

My point is simply that you are mistaking their place in the hierarchy

The Dark One is the threat. He is the enemy from whom the world needs saving, NOT the Forsaken
