I bought and
read the lot last year and I'd say that the sequels build very nicely on the beginnings and that the 3rd book is at least as good as the 1st though they were all quite enjoyable and I wish the series had gone on longer.
I'm hoping Scarborough's other re-publisher will offer the Smashwords discount coupons during Read an E-Book Week next year again (they had them last year and skipped this year). But otherwise they're available at All Romance/OmniLit and you can get rebates on them there when they have the special offers (and have a regular buy 10 get 1 free thing).
As for me, I'm horribly behind on both my commenting and my list-updating, but I'm also reading a Fictionwise 60% off coupon purchase,
Cary James'
King and Raven, which is another one of those e-Reads backlist reprints.
This starts out as an Arthurian tale about a peasant boy seeking revenge for knightly outrages against his family using the aegis of serving the nobility to get access to his targets and has turned into, well, I don't really know where it's going, but it's getting quite interesting as it's kind of a mashup of both the courtly Arthurian legends and the Crusade-laden France vs England rivalry historical realism of the actual 11th or 12th century.
Anyway, thus far I'm quite liking the shifting and evolving perceptions of the main character and his personal journey of self-discovery to wherever his eventual destination, which apparently may or may not include the revenge he was originally seeking.
