I confess, I only read the first book properly and skimmed the other two. This is not a reflection on the story - and I still DO hope to read the two later books in the manner they deserve. The fault lies in my buying the trilogy hardbound all together. My hands cannot support such a book and it made reading it a literal pain. The only reason I've now marked this as 'read' is that I've now lent my copy to another. A person with healthy arms, wrists and fingers who will have no trouble with such an edition.

Note to self, next time buy things one by one.
