I'm midway through Dark Eyes right now, so I can keep you updated if you'd like.

That's sort of how I feel with the show itself right now. With audios, I find it easier to shove the stories I'm not interested in out of existence. Therefore, Charley's story ends with The Girl Who Never Was (which still isn't great, but mostly this is because I felt like they were overkilling Charley by not just letting the character go), and Lucie's story ends with Death in Blackpool and the drama surrounding that rather than let us refashion her into some battle-hardy person who we then kill off far from home, this girl who'd always been very attached to her family, rather than a curious and "gauche, ungainly" young lass, and meanwhile lets also shit all over the concept of the Doctor moving onto a new friend. Again.

Hex, like I told you, did actually work for me (though I was crushed, I love him), but given what the reasoning turned out to be, they should've just ended it at The Angel of Scutari (which wouldn't have been happier an end, but probably cleaner and less dragged out).

ETA: All in all, I would say, yes, totally, let him know. If I were going to be at any of these cons, I'd want to express my opinion about that, and actually also about their reluctance to let storylines end without always bringing them back for another wringing.
