Good point, although I think the same logic would have to apply to almost all of the series books to which comparisons have been made. (i.e. Lord of the Rings) They all have books written to stand alone, but also part of a larger story. Discussing and analyzing them as separate entities is certainly fair, but an analysis of something like character development will be more valid and comprehensive when considering the series as a whole. Many of the issues that have been considered flawed elements could very well be resolved by the last book. (I think some of the things that leave us unsatisfied may be the very things that draw us back into reading more.)
