My main problem with them is how the politics just drag on and on and how long winded some of the descriptions are.

I never made it through them reading them, it wasn't until I went audiobook and just accepted that my brain would fall asleep for stretches of it that I made it through.

There's some genius in there but it really takes some wading through the mud to get there.

The TV series is showing some promise that they will be able to wrangle this sprawling spaghetti into some sort of form that's fit for TV. I will be very impressed if they pull it off.
