Characters are clunky, plot is nonexistent, diaglog is just fantasy tropes.

Great characters, awesome story and world building. My second time through with this series and am enjoying it more than the first.

Enjoyed the story and most of it is well written. The first hundred pages are a bit of a slog because it can be hard to distinguish characters. The character chapters are much to short as well. The author or editor has an extreme addiction to jumping to a new character as soon as something interesting happens. Doesn’t really build suspense, just draws away from the power of the event. It’s a shame because the overall story is a good one. There are also a few events in the story that are basically ignored once it cuts back to a character as if the author forgot. Not major but still hurts the power of the story.

I wouldn’t put it in my top 5 favorites but it’s a good book that is worth the read. The beginning was slow and the constant jumping from characters was annoying at first. Once I was about half way through I couldn’t put it down if I wanted too.

The writing is decent but the story is poor, highly unoriginal (recycled familiar plots to the point where I was laughing at each turn in the story because it was so trite and stereotypical), and offers no original world-building or mystery. Really not worth the time and I will not be continuing the series.

Amazing book. Highly recommended.

Best book in the world!

One of the best books I have ever read. It starts a little slow, but that is due to the amazing character development. You feel like you know these characters, and grow with them. Must read.
