I give the series as a whole 4/5 stars. The series starts slower than I'd like, but starting in book 3 the world and story really shine. Overall it's a well written, fun read!

"Extended trips are the most frightening to begin, sheer cliffs the most difficult to climb, long falls the most painful to endure, but it is invisible chains that are the hardest to break."
A tale of redemption, of transformation and strength of characters. The Legends of the First Empire was a splendid and endearing series. It was an emotionally impactful journey with the deeply compelling and inspiring characters ever crafted. The underdogs, the outcasts, my beloved unlikely heroes. The best of the best. That was truly the strength of this series, his characters. Personally, I found it the same for all his other works. In the end, inevitable indeed, an asshole sit on the throne. Not a truly bad character, but an asshole still. I found that to be very realistic and sad. Overall, it ended with a satisfying and neatly wrapped conclusion.
"All too often, that which we are most certain of is that which we are the most wrong about; and that which we are wrong about can change everything."

Good, but not as good as ryiria
I loved the concept of this series. It was super fun to get the backstory of Elan. If you like the rest of Michael's work, you'll like this book. I didn't feel that he stuck the landing quite as well with this book as he did with ryiria.
