I am enjoying this series a lot. The writing is solid for the most part (and that's saying a lot - the books in the series are quite long), with interesting characters, situations, and mixed genres.Sometimes I felt frustrated with conversation structure, and needed to reread those a few times to determine who was saying what. Some sentences interrupt flow so awkwardly that I contemplated contacting the author to donate my editing services, as I believe her obvious talent is worth backing. However, upon visiting her Website I soon discovered she's received plenty of similar offerings. Angela, you really do need more experienced proof readers and editors. That being said, I'd like to address the haters giving less than at least 3 stars...Does this series have errors? Yes. How many ebooks have you read that are error free? None, that I've read. The series is still very much readable, and enjoyably so. If you don't like the fantasy elements, is that the author's fault? No. So why leave bad reviews making YOUR preferences her problem? Does the series lack polish in SOME instances. Yes, and considering the SUPER GENEROUS length of these books, I think the author deserves some slack. I think most people have no idea how complicated it is to write books (especially a series of this size) as evidenced by their harshly critical reviews, and seemingly narrow perspectives. Remember, this is FICTION, which requires some capacity to suspend disbelief and tap into IMAGINATION. If you are able to do that, as well as overlook a few (compared to the whole) awkward sentences and somewhat confusing dialogues at times, then this series is truly appealing and entertaining.
