"These books are pretty interesting but I really only have one complaint. The women in these books are incredibly strong and important in the plot. They have layers and depth to their personality as much as any other character but they are constantly reduced to a pair of nipples peaking through a shirt. It happens so often that it is distracting."

"I'm reading these in the advised order to play the video games afterward. This one would have to be one of my favorites so far! To see the changes happening in the characters is something I really enjoyed. "

"Good book, but you can clearly see the aging this book has, especially with it's depiction of women. I'm still committed to reading the whole book."

"I found this book much more engrossing than blood of elves. I enjoyed learning more of the story. "

"I appreciate his originality and world building, but his writing voice takes some getting used to, in my opinion. "
Chris Foust
"Good book but again talks too much about a literal child’s virginity. <br/><br/>TW: romanticizes SA"
