i actually love the sot series. i have read all including debt of bones, which i think was done very well. in fact my daughter, er...second daughter is named after the main character g-ma, so i must have loved it! nathan can't seem tot alk himsle finto reading it but he supports my habit of it so i'm fine. and as far as the "cant have girl, get girl, lose girl, get girl" theme it works rather well as each time it is solved a different way, usually with magic or sheer strength, but still. of course i do like historical romance novels, and how drab can you get, they all go the same way. but t.g. does a much better job, does not have cussing in his books or explicit sex scenes so it gets a number one in my book, something i can share with the kids someday.
the biggest thing i have noticed is the difference of how magic works for them, it is interesting, and the fact that they don;t actually have elves! i don;t know many sword/sorcery books without elves, so i think this adds a nifty twist.
well jmo. ttyl
