I almost didnt buy this book because of some of the negative comments left here. I am now on the fourth book and very happy I kept reading. Some comments have said how stupid the main character is and how he makes so many dumb mistakes. This is especially true in the first book but he is learning from his mistakes and growing as a person. Later on he realizes how dumb he has been so it isn’t bad writing. In fact, I’m impressed with the authors world building, magic system and how likable they have made the characters. I highly recommend.
