Perhaps read Book 7, and then see if you feel the same way? I've read it, and I wouldn't say that most aspects/characters are wrapped in a shroud.
She does have only one story to tell, you're right. There is one conflict, but in the course of Book 7 you see that there are many issues being fought out within the context of that one conflict.
But even though that's the story she wants to tell, I think the richness of her universe is such that it's impossible even for her to close off every story line, to leave everything that tied up.

YMMV. But you may be pleasantly surprised.
