This is a review for the first three books (I finished them all in 2 days). This is a fantastic series. I was a little skeptical after the opening of the first book, but by the 3rd chapter I was hooked. The concept is interesting, the system is fascinating, the characters are fleshed out (but not to the point of knowing too much), the combat feels real, and the creativeness of the author is unreal. I highly recommend these books and am waiting impatiently for the next one.
