Or at least, insofar as he had control over it. I think there are problems, but those are all directly attributable to editorial interference. I wrote to him about these, and he kindly filled me on on more details, and he was writing under severe constraints, and forced to make changes that made no sense in terms of the bigger story, and forced to add crossovers that make no sense, for marketing purposes, at short notice. A top class writer like Englehart should be left alone to write! The issues with no outside interference (there are only 12) are among the best ever, and I prefer them to Byrne's - which among FF fans is heresy.
