Review: An OK read but not great
Rating: 4 out of 5

I just finished the 5th and final installation of this book. Although I'm not really into fantasy (got tired of S. King long ago) but I do like some. The first 4 parts were very good but the last was a bit unsatisfying. It really seemed like the author just got tired of it and wanted to end it. A lot was left unexplained and there were no details of how the others died nor how the survivors continued to live on the island. However, overall I quite enjoyed the entire story. I imagine the ending was done in a way to make readers look forward to the next book which is to be an extension (or sequel?) of this first one and I'll probably read it. I like the author's style of writing and I do not think his descriptive passages were overly done. Even tho there should be a more thorough edit, all in all the book(s) deserve a solid 4 stars.
