Reviews

[Patrice · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked the characters and story, much more so than in the movie. The series covers all the novels in the series, so it was a wonderful opportunity to learn the full scope of the story. I really enjoyed this series.

[Michael · Rating 1 out of 5]

This series was so good, until the last two books. It took this western sort of religious turn that was just awful. A profound disappointment.

[Matt · Rating 2 out of 5]

An unsatisfying end, unsatisfying conflict, and the author's conversion to Jesus was just annoying.
