My friend is constantly telling me I'd looooooooove them. I also had to convince Lee that they're apparently really badly written - I love fantasy books, but more Robert Jordan, Trudi Canavan, LOtR,Terry Brooks etc etc ... more MATURE and well written things. I do not pretend to be a literary expert but I think it would do my head in, I've heard nothing but bad things from people with a brain. If someone I respect on that level tells me it's good, then maybe..... but until then, I refuse!!!

I was curious and wanted to see if they were as bad as everyone says, and yeah, they're complete and utter shite. Smeyers just writes so badly, it's awful. Not to mention the silly plot and flat characters. Comparing the books to good fantasy like LotR is like...comparing Claire's jewelry to Cartier!
