I was going to say much the same thing, although it's been clear since Book 1 that there are costs to pay for using magick, even if it is to fight evil, and you are positioned as the one in the white wizard's hat, so to speak.
I've been enjoying the books a lot, and have been preordering them on amazon.com as soon as a release date is specified. I just wait until they show up in the mail.
