Also -- which I think I've mentioned in this thread already -- Katherine Kerr's Deverry books. The first cycle of four books are brilliant. The second cycle, while still well-written and quite passable fantasy, started introducing new things into the world that had never even been hinted at in the first cycle. Just like you mention about Brooks' arbitrary additions. I lost interest in the saga after that, since that type of... well I don't know if retconning is the correct term here, but the skewing of a storyline to make it become something it originally wasn't (just for the sake of writing more books), that can annoy the hell out of me sometimes.
