When I first started this trilogy, I thought it would just be another poor remake of worlds created by the great fantasy authors like Tolkein, Eddings, or Brooks. I couldn't have been more wrong. The world in this fantasy stands entirely on its own. I was amazed at the scope of this author's creativity. The story itself has a well-developed plot that rings true with zero plot holes from beginning to end. The characters, although seemingly shallow at first, grow on you as you read and you begin to discover the depth of their personalities as well as the depth of their relationship with the world in which they live. Not to mention their relationships with each other.While reading, I kept trying to guess what would happen, especially as I got to the end, but all my guesses were totally wrong. My reaction to the first book was: this is a good story. My reaction to the second book: this is a great story. My reaction to the third: Woah! The ending hits you with a punch, but really, the story couldn't have finished more perfectly than it did. Kudos to the author!
