Series does not read like the first book

I loved the Warded Man and bought this bundle without reading any reviews. I’ve never read a series that changes the narration like this one does. The Warded Man was an introduction to several main characters and told in their own POV. We barely get introduced to Jardir, yet the Desert Spear is primarily his POV and his detailed history. It’s like reading a completely different series until time catches up and you read scenes you already read in Arlens’ POV. Then the POV changes to Inevera and her history with repeated scenes. The POV finally starts to change more frequently, but there were many times I wanted to quit reading this. Still, I’m torn about buying the final book. I loved the idea of this story and I want to know how it ends. Reading Arlens’ narration later on when he chooses to speak like an uneducated bumpkin from his hometown is very irritating. I very much dislike Jardir, Inevera and the Krasian society. The fact that the Krasians dominate most of the story after the first book, but we were barely introduced to them in it, makes me feel tricked into the series. Overall, I’m very disappointed.

This series is fantastic!! While reading it Peter V Brett had easily become one of my favourite authors. The characters are interesting, their stories develop into complex lives and the relationships between them feel very much real. It does take a little time for the story to progress but you get to feel like you’re growing up with characters and seeing how they process and deal with the story as it’s going on which I think is super important for a long series such as this one. There is actually one more book in this series (the core) so if you do read it, make sure to include that one

I tried so hard to like this series. The idea of the plot is fantastic! But unless you enjoy reading about children having sex, extradinary amounts of pointless rape and incest, as well as poorly written female characters, skip this series.

Better than average adult fantasy. Although there is plenty of action, it did drag at times and the sprawl of the book was a bit of an over-reach at times.

I listened to this entire series on Audible. It was fantastic. Went back and listened to them all again a year later. Still just as good. Some of my favorite fantasy characters.
