| 10/10 | No doubt-hands up this is the best series i have EVER read.The fact that it has 12 books is an amazing thing. | |||||
| 9/10 | Classic fantasy, very well written with a massive world. Story tends to wander a bit down the line but still an excellent read | |||||
| 2/10 | Underdeveloped characters, boring story. | |||||
| 7/10 | A story that involves endurance. By endurance, I mean reading roughly 750 - 1,000 pages per book. This will definitely boost your reading comprehension as you try to remember all 1880 characters in the series. | |||||
| 10/10 | Overall this is one of the most outstanding works written in the fantasy genre. The series contain a wide range of characters with unique personalities, different perspectives and a depth of thought that is very rare. | |||||
| 9/10 | Phenomenal scope in this series. Astounding to the point to which you ask how is it even possible to create/write this. "Underdeveloped characters"? You must be joking. | |||||
| 10/10 | Excellent, if a bit long-winded at times... truly epic in scope | |||||
| 8/10 | Loved the first book. However, later books take too long for anything to happen. I got bored by the fourth book. | |||||
