Not the best book...
I have to admit plot is good writing is terrible to say the least. I'm only continuing because there is more I need to see. More in their story I want to so.

Amazing start
This blew me away. I had no idea what I was starting when I read page 1. It’s so good and I’m ready for more

Book 1: very very good. So many cliffhangera that I hoped would resolve earlier than the last book
Book 2: continued story of book 1, than slowly peters out
Book 3: soooooooo slow. Made me worry each book would span just 100 years of the 1000 we have to go still. Pace picked up dramatically towards the end.
And now... To continue? Or let this story be?

This series was amazing and I cannot wait to read the rest of the books within it. Great characters, fantastic writing and a fantastical world was created.

DNF. I tried so hard to make it through the whole box set but I just couldn't do it. By the end of the 2nd book I was bored to tears. I kept thinking it would get better if I could just make it a little further but I never did. I was intrigued by the concept of the books but there just wasn't anything there to keep my hooked.

Engaging story with terrible history
I can't seem to stop reading this story even though its knowledge of history is completely wrong in thousands of ways — from the languages spoken in the UK and ROI in 1022 C.E. to the histories of key scientific discoveries, this author is ignorant of it all.
Nevertheless, I'm dying to know how the rest of the story shakes out, so I'll probably buy the sequels.

Tediously written. This could have been a great story, but the writing is so painfully terrible that I only finished this set because... well, because I had them. And I started it. So I finished it. I declined to read any more beyond these, even though I had already invested three books' worth of my attention, because I couldn't bare the thought of wading through another sentence. The plot is very intriguing, but the author TELLS you EVERYTHING. Nothing is left to inference or imagination - every single thought, emotion, intention, natural consequence is boringly laid out even within contexts that leave it absolutely unnecessary... even foreshadowing is spoiled by setting it up, only to then immediately tell you what will come later. If it wasn't so clearly just insecure writing, it would have felt insulting. But it definitely made it intolerable to continue. Disappointing. The story itself had great potential.
