First thing I want to say is give this series a try for at least the first book. It does take about 25% of the first book for things to really come together and start making sense and once it does you are in for a ride of a lifetime. I would consider this as a fantasy sub genre called grimdark. Nobody is really honorable, the world is a nasty brutish place, and it is just kind of cynical and dark. This all combines together to make for incredible character interactions and development. The world building is less than what I am used to, but the story just doesn’t need that since you are really caring and feeling for the characters. A must read for anyone who has read a lot of fantasy novels and wants to experience something new. It is not on the same scope of Game of Thones, but if you enjoyed those novels/shows you will probably enjoy these.
