I wanted to add my opinion because this is something I've noticed before, but after reading all the posts I have nothing left to say. Your opinions mesh perfectly with mine.
I will add something, though:
When I was a kid, Deltora Quest was my absolute favorite thing. I bought all the companion books. Though I outgrew it years and years ago, I still read it over now and then because it had such an impact on me growing up. And, you know, they're actually pretty good books.
Everything lined up perfectly. PERFECTLY. There was not a single problem that went unresolved. I also loved the theme of "small things adding up to more than the sum of their parts".
But deus ex machina played a huge part. Almost nothing in that series should have gone the way it did. But I didn't care.

There's a shelf of books that I looked at the other day, remembering how I loved them. I started reading one and wondered what/how I loved it because I thought it was awful.
