Review: Frustrating, but generally pleasant light reading

Author and editors should do a better job of proofing -- especially for word usage.  Lots of misuses of "then" and "than," "passed" and "past," and "accept" and "except."  These errors were found throughout all three books.Aside from that, the characters were mercurial, and prone to over-blown prose; the dialog was easy to follow, if occasionally overwrought; the philosophical discussions were completely pedestrian (how many times will "free will" versus "fate" be debated?!?); the characters were sometimes inconsistent, sometimes too stiff, and other times quite engaging; and often the foreshadowing was heavy-handed.Even with all these faults, I enjoyed reading the series.
