i like fantasy, i should be all over these books but the reviews have completely scared me away.
Same here, well for a while anyway. Now finished book 1 and started book 2. The way the author jumps around from character to character does not bother me at all. Actually I quite like it. Reads as a series of short stories in a way. I dont require a story to be told is a sequential A to Z type of way.

As to the slow delivery of the books I have no real opinion. I have 4 of them in front of me so no problem, for now.

Loving it so far
