Ok, so firstly I didn't realise that this was part of a series, and secondly it is not a usual genre of mine but I wanted to see what all of the hype was about so I though this was a good place to start. And it was good. Weird and strange in parts but that was the author's intention and I must admit I will definitely read more in the future. It's set in Centoria. We experience sieges and attempts to over throw old rivals. There really is never a dull moment. It's a genre that will take a but of getting used to I think but I can see why it's so popular.
