I enjoyed this so much!!  Like others, I read the first volume (which I downloaded for free :-)...and then bought the trilogy.  I didn't regret a minute of reading this wonderful series.  And, yup...when the 4th volume comes out later this year, I *will* buy it.Oh, sure.  I wanted to slap some of the characters at times.  Often lots of times :-(  But, hey...many of them *were* very young, so I had to remember that being immature jerks is to be expected :-)And I really wish that the author had formatted the Kindle version better.  He uses dashes a lot...which I don't have a problem with.  But they all were formatted as hyphens, which occasionally made things very confusing.But the writing overall was wonderful.  The pace moved really well.  And I loved his use of language.Plus, for those of you who, like me, absolutely hate it when a Kindle author writes about things that, because of the way they're written, make you figure that, as much as you want to find out what happens right now, the author must be setting these important things up to be revealed later...and then the author never refers to those things ever again!!!  Whiteway *never* does this!  Whatever he sets up, he completes!  And he does it in a timely, appropriate manner![As an aside, I feel a bit sorry for the reviewer (frequent reader) who found the series tedious...well, what he read of it.  I admit that I always approach books like these with a "willing suspension of disbelief"...and it appears from his review that he doesn't do so. Indeed, based on his comments, I don't think he realized that this *is* a science fantasy series, not science fiction.  For those of you who enjoy science fantasy, please don't let his review turn you off.]
