"My favourite series. Initially read Goodkind. Many reviews commented on the similarity, so I picked it up. Outstrips Goodkind by a mile. Much better written."
"Excellent start of a new series, with a depth and scope to rival Tolkein. Complex plots with multiple viewpoints. Slightly bloodthirsty yet gripping. Very in-depth."
"Recently come across this author. Lighter than George R R Martin, but almost as complex. Drops you right into the middle of the story. Not for those who like to be spoonfed the plot."
"NOT recommended for young readers, may be a little too explicit. Found series 2 appealed to me more, but you need the background knowledge of series 1."
