The beginning was... too simple, in a way. I can't really put my finger on what it is that annoys me about it, but I feel the story got more alive the further in you got into the first book, and really shone first in the second and third book...
I can see that. Just after I made this post, I read the bit where they go through the gate and I agree.
I will not have time to join in the reading now, perhaps when summer comes, then I only have to work. But I feel I know much of these books by heart, at least the first four or five or so, so I might comment if you do posts.
Sounds good.

Eh it didn't really capture my interest. Her prose is difficult to read

My brother found that initially but soon got used to it.

See, I like these books, but looking back at it, the first book seems... underdeveloped.

It is possible for an American not to sell well in her own country. *NM*

I bought that a couple of weeks ago, hence the reread. I hope it's better than Traitor's Knot *NM*
