As much as I want to read the series. The writing is too much for me. Too much unnecessary details.
I giving it 2 stars because I believe the story should be good if not great, but I won't finish the book because I don't like the way the author tell the story. Now if there's a movie based on these series, I might be able to enjoy it, if only if I'm in a watching-movie mood, which unfortunately is almost never.
