Review: Good Fantasy but I miss the Book in my Hand
Rating: 4 out of 5

I am on the last book in this series and now expect the pell mell jewel enhanced decisions and lack of true wisdom in the characters are leading to such an unnescessay armeggedon. Sure, I get behind the plot of righteous revenge, or justice, even war that will bring lasting peace or freedom. Here though, we are beginning to reap the fruits of mayhem by our leading hero, as well as the machinations of greed by enemies and friends alike. Honor shown by a murdering Troll trumps that of almost every other character, except for Teylyn (the Hero's Girl). The series is a study in how power corrupts, I guess.There seems to be no editor involved with the sentance structure of the manuscripts. This does detract from my enjoyment and is the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5.The story line is compelling, yet is beginning to look contrived. There is no logical reasson for Myrrdin's attitude or his actions in the last two books, except to help set up the comming war.My last comment is one on the ebooks themselves. This is my first set of ebook reads. What I see so far is that the cost / quality ratio is higher than buying a paperback, which is annoyng because I don't come away with anything tangible.
