Review: A mixed bag
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 05 16, 2013
This series is really a mixed bag of quality.  Book 1 is inadequate and deserves maybe a 2 star rating due to its complete reliance upon how things happen and skipping around of which there is much.  Book 2 is a little better but still not 2.5 stars. Book 3 starts to get good and I would rate it 3.5 to 4 stars for interesting character development and plot line.  There are less difficulties with incorrect word choice as well in the later books.  Books 4 and 5 are 4 stars but book 6 takes a step back with a less involving story line.  I would rate book 6 at 3 stars.  Book 7 is even more of a mixed bag with some elements that are poor and some that are good with a twist at the end. I would say the book 7 has for me a rating of between 3 and 4 stars overall.  If you are a voracious reader like myself then I would advise you to pick up this series.  The books with the exception of book 1 are of good quality and although I like my books longer are a good value. You must read book one though to have a background for the later works.  Oh and although he does not appear much in the later books Grik the goblin is interesting and I hope I see more of him in the future.  Good luck finding good literature.
