I haven't actually finished this set, but I will be picking it back up next year to continue on with the story. But it is good enough to rate it at 4 stars for what I have read so far. I love the story, but I just have not been in the fantasy mood lately.

A nice easy fun read

I enjoyed the series. It was easy to follow and had a good story line. It had a diverse amount of character's and finished nicely

A tough one to rate. I liked the story and I thought the characters were well-developed. However, I never really got engaged in any of the action sequences. It was like they were being described by someone that wasn't excited by what was happening. Accurate, yet not thrilling to me as a reader. I'm not sure how else to describe it.

Overall the text I did read was muddy - lacking clarity on several key points. With stilted prose - descriptors that provide info we don't need while not presenting a clear picture - some word choices are in the wrong person or tense. the characterization seemed to make naive assumptions about the nature of man, which would work fine for a bright tale but this one is already feeling dark and moody.
