This book is definitely among my all time favorites. Thus far I’ve read five of the books and I am absolutely hooked. The storyline, character development and intricacies of the various layers is absolutely incredible. The only thing even remotely negative about the entire series that I could say is that it can be very intense and somewhat gory at times. Even though I’m not overly bothered by it and I believe it is done in a way that is constructive to the plot, I would recommend younger or more sensitive readers go into the series with some caution or to simply avoid it. Other than that I would highly recommend the book and the series as a whole.
