On the whole series
I am giving this series a three because I feel the author got lazy. This could have been a much larger vision. He wrote book one and I got involved in those characters, wanting to know more, but book to, suddenly, introduces a new set of characters...say what? And now generations have gone by! Book two should have really been book four or five and then this author could have stood with Martin or Jordan and given us, the reader, something to sink are teeth into, a fully multi-dimensional world. It's a good read, don't get me wrong, it just could have been so much better.

I really, really liked the first book, enjoyed the second and thought the third was written at an eighth grade level. Still, the story in book 3 wasn't too bad. The fourth book was written much better, but there was rape all over the place. To make matters worse, the word "rape" was used once, the preferred word being "ravish". This really, really made me angry, and the book overall was full of naked women, "teats", and only the baddies having sex. I thought the ending was clever, but overall it left a bad taste in my mouth.

A very enjoyable read.
The Powers of Creation come full circle right back to their origin, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. Everyone fighting for the survival of the race of man seems to dies. The Bane of Creation appears to win. Until Leitos reaches the begging off the story.
Books 2-4 should have been the trilogy with book 1 coming over as a prequel. Other then that I have enjoyed the series.

What a strange ending to an atypical fantasy series. For three quarters out of four, the story proceeds as expected for a final showdown and then... everything goes overboard. Plus a dose of weird/sadistic scenes which could put some readers off. The nice thing is to get back to the tome 1 heroes at the very end of the story. I enjoyed the whole series but my favorite books of this quartet remain 1 and 3.

Really enjoyed most of this book. I have been a huge fan of the series but the ending left me disappointed. I would still recommend this book and this series to anyone who like epic fantasy or wants to get into a good series.
