It is done. I picked up book 2 a few years ago, grabbed books 1 and 3 for a $1 each on Amazon, and read it on and off over the year. I have to say, it was better than I expected it to be. According to the blurbs the first book was Marco's "debut novel". While definitely more grounded then some fantasy out there, there is very little overt magic, and much more focus on intrigue and politic-ing the over all series is a pleasant read. The final book, is a little too much paint by numbers, with many things happening simply because they have to, with no real reason why, but it is still enjoyable to read the characters arc to the conclusion. I liked this series, I liked this new author, if anything more from him surfaces, I will make an honest effort to check it out.
