Helpful Score: 1

If you have read the Wheel of Time series you are going to see lots and lots of similarities. It is as if this author was given the basic plot line of WoT and wrote it his own way.

There are enough differences that I will probably finish the series. It is much more brutal than WoT. It is very graphically brutal in parts.

This author tends to have his characters be kinda dumb. The phrase "I had no choice" is used repeatedly throughout the books, and the story would have been just fine without it.

I have finished the series and I won't read it again.


(SPOILER ALERT)
Although the story is okay, I find it difficult to understand how a society can function for thousands of years without any progress. There was no mention of doctors, scientists or inventors. The world is stuck in a medieval setting and so are the characters. If the time frame had been hundreds of years, this would be much more acceptable.
