this was a wonderfully done book, i think the cover is beautifully done and the book has a wonderful plot and great characters.

I hadn't originally planned on reading this since I couldn't get access to the original books, but I ended up deciding to just plunge in and fill in the blanks myself. It was an interesting story that was generally pretty enjoyable, but not really my cup of tea. I think some of my issues with the story may have been fixable had I been able to read the other books in the series, but it was hard for me to get into at times.
