Not a fan of fantasy - but LOVE this series
I normally don't read much in the fantasy genre...I enjoy Harry Potter but hated Jordan and Tolkien. This is Harry Potter for grown ups, but better. The book does start out slow, but after the first few chapters, you are completely hooked and can not put it down.I learned that before I could start a new book, to make sure I had the next in the series to start right away because ending one in the middle of the night and not having the next was incredibly frustrating. I couldn't put the book down and am getting ready to read the series a third time to get ready for the next one to be released.
