Bakker is less confusing than Erikson. Not having dozens of plotlines definitely helps. Bakker is philosophizing more, that might be a reason some people don't like him that much. I'd definitely give the series a try.
Fourth book in the series was published few months ago in hardcover.
About SOIaF.
IIRC there were theories that GRRM envisioned the series to be more stretched out in novel-time, e.g. letting all the different kids grow up to some extent. This was thrown out of the window IMO when he started killing characters (that would be sacrosanct in 90% of the fantasy literature) at an alarming rate and he had to replace them.
Thus the current state of the series with too many teenagers in important positions that acts as if being 5-10 years older.
