This trilogy has a lot of world-building, which I am not used to as it’s not my usual genre. But she also writes fabulous characters with depth and grit. I wasn’t expecting so much world building to still be happening in the 3rd book, so this one was a bit of work to get through, but I do recognize that it’s really well done.
This trilogy has triggered a reading phase for my husband. I’m realizing I was just never recommending books that were right for him. He devoured this trilogy in about a month, after being like a one book a year kind of reader.
