This book series is really awesome one. For me this whole book series is 4.3 stars. Someone suggested me that this series is worth reading and I take the world and went for it. Each and every book in this series is good and the fantasy created is really good.
From the start of Book #1 to Book #10 there was no stopping since the start. The series was so captivating that the excitement didn't stopped. I loved it and really recommend this book to each and every fantasy lover out there.
To put it bluntly; For me Eriksons books, along with Esslemonts, are among a select few that I check up on regularly to see if there are any new coming out. I have re-read all of these books multiple times and cannot recommend them enough to those who like myself want a bit of complexity and a bit of layering in the worlds I read about in Fantasy. The details and the characters enable me to enjoy these books again and again without getting bored by them. All other books I read I sort of read while I wait for Malazan books these days.
Not this particular edition, but these 8 books were basically my read through 2023. Still excellent, and 15 (?) years later I had forgotten most of it.
