Actually more like 4.5 stars, only because there's so much information included here. At times, it's a bit difficult to keep track of all the characters!

Listening to this series on audiobook has been so much more effective for me, I think because of the way that Roy Dotrice narrates the story. With the different voices and accents, you're really transported to this world, and getting some background information for the series has been super helpful. Now, just to finish the next book before the series comes out in April!
