I cannot say it is an outstanding series but it is OK, hopefully it doesn't get worse. I would definitely give it 3/5 but I am trying to be positive and give it 3.5/5
It is so much better than most of staff I have read lately. For example: crap such as American Gods(Neil Gaiman), The Shadow of the Torturer&The Claw of the Conciliator(Gene Wolfe) or just mediocre such as Black Man/13(Richard Morgan), Anubis Gates(Tim Powers), Perdido Street Station(China Mieville) that I am quite happy to immerse myself back into epic fantasy.
I bought the whole series in one go - wow did I regret that - still I gave them to a good home . Now for a good series , I would recommend the Sword of Truth - unfortunately not available in e-book format unless you can read German .
The Wheel of Time series started out good - but I found it became to repetitive and drawn out to enjoy it .
