The base of the series is awesome. However, from the first book it seems the focus of the story is on sex and rape, often of underage girls. It was so bad I had to stop because I felt this was some strange outlet for the authors fantasies. When children would speak, their dialog was too proper and not age appropriate. Book was too hard to follow due to all the names and bouncing around, but I managed to get it straight by midway through the second book. Lastly, the narrator has an easy to listen too and did a good job not overdoing the women’s voices.
