I really, really liked these books.  I'm sitting here searching around Amazon hoping that I just somehow missed the third one.  I started reading this series because a) it had very high ratings from those that had read it, b) the price was definitely right; I figured for 99 cents I probably couldn't go wrong, and if I did, it would not be an expensive error and c) I'd just read another series that had appalled me and I wanted to read something a bit lighter in nature.  I honestly couldn't put the first book down.  I read it in one sitting.  I wish the books were longer, they end much too soon.  I love the hero, I love the way the story unfolds, I love they way the characters are fleshed out, and I appreciate the fact that I only found one glitch in the editing (there may be more, but I tend to ignore them if the book is good, so hopefully it won't be held against me if another reader finds more). If you are looking for an epic fantasy that will become a literary classic, this probably isn't it, but it sure is fun.  What more can I say?  I'm eagerly waiting for the next book.  By the way, I rarely give a five star rating but I felt this author and his co-authors deserved it.
