| Re: So, just started...
Am half way through child of flame, the fourth book and i'm very glad i stuck with the series. The second book was a big improvement on the first in terms of content and writing, and the third even better. Now that i'm no longer stopping once every few pages to cluck of a a very clumsy bit of dialogue or whatever, it's very compeling. The battle's still aren't brilliantly written but they're a lot less cringeworthy then the first book, so as long as you don't dwell too much on them and day-dream of martin/erikson you get through them just fine. I love the characters, especially Alain and Liath, and i have to aplaud Elliot for, so far, keeping me going without actually revealing very much. I'm halfway through the series and i don't know who to route for, which faction(s) i want to win.
great stuff. |
