By the time I got to the end of all three audio books I was hoping to find more by this author. Which, in my opinion, is more than we're getting from a lot of fantasy writers of late. It's nothing revolutionary, just solid writing with fun characters and an enjoyable storyline. HOWEVER - in the second book, the story really hits it's stride.

I didn't really care about the characters and it seemed like a pretty cookie cutter sword and sorcery. It's not bad, it's just not something that would inspire me to listen to 5 more books. If I'd listened to just the first book, I may not have continued. Which is good choice on the part of the audio publishers. It says it in the description, but in case you missed it - this audio is two books combined into one audiobook. If there were a way, I'd have given the story 3.5 stars.
