Review: Starts out questionable, but has progressed into something grand

I've been eyeing the Sorcerer's Path books for awhile now, and have put off buying them for probably a good year or so.  I like my kindle books to be in the $2 to $3 range because I don't have a lot of money to spend on extra things(and I go through a book in about a day so $4+ adds up fast).  I had just finished the Wheel of time, and was in a good mood so I decided to finally take a chance on these books.  The first one is good, but nothing spectacular, and I kept saying... man you better roll a 20 to get out of this mess(for those that aren't gamers, it's a Dungeons and Dragons reference).  The whole first book felt like it was straight out of a D&D; campaign, and most of the ideas and spells were also directly from that vein.  It was however good enough for me to give the second one a shot, and I am very glad I did!  As the series progresses, Brock takes these ideas and characters and makes something grand.  I am now getting ready to read the sixth book(four days later, so you can see why I don't buy books at $4 often), and looking forward to it very much.The price is worth it for the quality of story, but I bet if he dropped the price another dollar he would sell twice as many books.  If you are a fan of good characters, and laughing and crying as they go through their tribulations this is a series for you.  Brock holds few punches when shaping his characters and the world they live in so there are many moments that are very sad, but there are enough that are very satisfying to balance it out.  The first book deserves four stars, but the rest are all good enough for five from me, so it gets five stars as a whole.  My only complaint is that I wish they were longer;)
