Lost interest about halfway through; series goes on too long; all action, little character development. Will not read book 4. (

Actually, I only got part way into it. I didn't have all the books to start, read the first two & was confused reading this one - so confused I put it down. I'll reread the first two at some point & then finish the series. My wife read them all in order & agreed this one was confusing, too. Not a good one to break on. The story line wobbles around a lot. Not a bad series, though. (

Parric zou die zonsopgang nooit vergeten: die gedenkwaardige ochtend toen de kwaadaardige greep van de winter eindelijk verslapte en een verrukkelijke lente haar vriendelijke vleugels over de wereld uitspreidde.
