no, no no no no no no no Foxhead Send a noteboard - 12/10/2011 08:35:15 AM
I've heard that it's really good if you can power through the first book. I'm about halfway through the first book, and my head is spinning from terms/places/things that aren't being explained. Opinions on if I ought to hang in there?


it's the world's most unrewarding slog ever. don't get me wrong there are some pretty epic moments and deadhouse gates and memories of ice are fantastic, but the rest is incredibly incredibly tedious. every book could've done with some heavy editing

so there's my warning if it was me and i could tell the me before i read the series i would tell him not to read the series i read.

I feel like there are much better, tighter, more rewarding series out there. *NM* Aeryn - 21/10/2011 04:31:40 PM 728 Views
It seems like every few months someone asks this same question. MonCul - 12/10/2011 02:11:55 PM 1637 Views

Absolutely yes. I loved the series. One of my favorites. lord-of-shadow - 12/10/2011 07:07:57 PM 1476 Views
Yes. Doesn't entirely live up to its potential imho, but the good outweighs the bad. *NM* Legolas - 12/10/2011 07:59:31 PM 743 Views
Go through with it! ? - 12/10/2011 09:44:29 PM 1553 Views
It is. The Final book justified the whole series in my opinion. Dan - 13/10/2011 03:21:29 AM 1579 Views
I think it's worth it. It's a fantastic series, IMO *NM* Colonel Logain - 13/10/2011 07:43:24 AM 723 Views
It's really great, but it's not really mainstream fantasy. DomA - 13/10/2011 08:06:46 AM 1798 Views

I got stuck in the middle of the 2nd book (when they are in a cave), so it's a no for me. *NM* Aeryn - 21/10/2011 04:30:06 PM 726 Views

Best series out there, easily. *NM* Asharak - 01/11/2011 08:24:37 AM 759 Views
No, because of badly written characters and illogical power rankings...and a chaotic plot... Shannow - 05/11/2011 11:09:58 PM 1596 Views
I don't disagree with all of your points, but... Legolas - 05/11/2011 11:58:23 PM 1666 Views
