They're the books I'm reading now. Anyone else like them? I know that they're (or at least the first series was) -er, a bit shallow...indescriptive, but its the creativity that I admire the most. I love fantasy like this. I've never read any adult fantasy though, except tolkien stuff. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but they all look excactly the same and not too apealing either.
