I have never been able to get past book 7, although I had hopes enough that I bought the next one when it came out. I am trying again now that I have ebooks, and I am finding it much easier going. Yes, there are a few editing errors, but the ability to bookmark and search has come in very helpful. I liked Gardens of the Moon quite a bit, but I found that it got harder to keep track as I went on. And I did like the characters. Tattersail, Ganoes Paran, etc. Some of the books jump around so you are introduced to a whole new cast of characters and a whole new storyline. In the book I am reading, Reaper's Gale, some of those storylines are starting to finally pull together.
I don't know if I could tell you specifically why I like them. I do like epics, and this one makes me use my brain. I can't just skim through and read fast or I'll miss something important. I like the characters. Even the "good guys" are heavily flawed. I find the twists and turns engaging.
