I'm about half way through
First Sword now.
Started to read through it about 3 days ago and was really taken by it - your best in the series so far.
As far as your question is concerned, I'd say yes and no.
Thinking of your books in terms of good meals (odd, I know), It's like going back to the same restaurant and trying out three different meals.
Same style, different flavours.
As each book seems to major on a particular hero, there's going to be a different feel to each one, naturally. But i think too that with each new novel your writing has improved and your stories have become a little more complex each time as your confidence has grown.
I'll post more when I've finished, but so far it gets a big thumbs up from me - I know it's building up to a big fight with Serrius and Bek, and I'm
really looking forward to that. The prologue was a superb opener.
