The idea of this series, reading the description, put me off immediately. I listen to over 80 books a year and this just sounded like a rehash of so many others. With the inclusion of magic, I thought it might end up being totally ridculous. I could not have been more wrong. And with so many reviews, I decided to trust.
The character development and world building are really good. And by the time I listened to the last chapter, I was so damn sad that it was all over. I felt like I just lost a good friend. Thank you, J.S. Morin. It is not often I read a series as robust and absorbing as this one.
