 If you ever wanted to try this series, this seems like a good time. I had some issues with this first book (will do a review when I re-read in preparation for the final book) but ended up liking it a lot. It went of the rails a bit in the last couple of books, in that I didn't really enjoy them, but with an actual close coming to the series I'll definitely be finishing it out and hoping for a strong finish!
