I am not necessarily the target audience for this series. I don't usually rate romance novels OR epic fantasy super highly. But these books are so compulsively readable. I kept scoffing and huffing about stupid shit that was happening, but I still struggled to put it down.  

The battle scenes were not my favourite, and I do wish they'd been pared down a bit. Also, goddamn there are so many characters to keep track of. 

I'm never going to re-read these (I didn't even look up recaps before starting this one), but I'll continue to read them as they come out.
