It’s a very long book, not three separate books, just one big book in 3 parts. It is slow at time with a lot of character development. That being said I really ended up enjoying it. Solid story with great characters. Intense, brutal and terrifying at times. I teared up probably 5-6 times as these battles played out and hero’s emerged. If you can stick it out, you are well rewarded at the end. I recommend.
