“This series is great. Some of the books get a bit slow at times. Jordan was a wonderful writer and could bring everything in his books to life. I am so looking forward to reading the last book of this series.”

My favorite was the extended discussion of all the dresses she purchased after being raised Ais Sidai, for the equivalent of what must have been several pages, and then, oh yeah, as an afterthought, someone has been tailing her for three days!
