This series has been incredibly fun so far and the main characters are extremely sweet. My favorite part, however, is that Therin understands that it's more than possible to have a sequel where our intrepid heroes struggle without needing to rehash the issues from the previous book or create problems because people don't talk about the things it would make sense to talk about. The struggles are mostly from the outside and put stress on Arthur and Rory and they have to figure out how to balance and it's just really nicely done.
