Yeah. I found that when his characters went out into the world and did things, it was good but it doesn't seem to be the author's strong suit. But when they're someplace where they have a chance to put down roots and engage in some drama, then it gets pretty impossible to put down. Whether they're in the present at the tavern or at the academy, it can be pretty engrossing. Makes sense, since the author is a college professor.
