I do actually like RAS dark elf books, although it is a love-hate relationship. I love many of the scenes and plots he comes up with; I hate a lot of the characters (esp Cattie-Brie, Wulfgar, and most good NPCs). He does evil guys great (in the dark elf books, imo).So my friend finally convinced me to read this series because he was done and he thrust all 3 upon me. Another book about a ranger...bleh. But it turned out to be pretty cool. I love the gem-magic and church control of it. I also loved old-school non-santa Avelyn. Also, I think he ended the 1st trilogy in such a way that you almost feel he could have done that with another of his series.At any rate, I must agree with John. Parts of the second book dragggg, and not in a good way (if there is a good "dragggg"). That being said my favorite book is Mortalis, the 4th book (and the only one that isnt part of a trilogy). While at first it was very boring for me, its a very in depth political novel which manages to scratch off a lot of the outer layers of the world, revealing an interesting underbelly. The female lead is also the only female good-aligned character I've ever connected with (possible exception: Danica from Cleric Quintet).If you have some time and spare cash, I would recommend reading the first trilogy, the 4th book (Mortalis) and the 5th book. I havent started on the 6th yet, but am hesitant due to the change of perspective. Overall, the gem-magic and villains will see me through.Technik</blockquote>
