" Still not overly enjoying this trilogy, but can't stop now. Not a great deal happens, basically Nevarre spends most of the book feeling sorry for himself after the magic makes him fat, does get tiring. More speck plague later on, snore. Still the horrid wanderings in the other place with tree wonan and other specks, these are the least enjoyable parts for me, and unfortunately there will likely be more in book 3, but I've come this far so need to see them through to the end. Not the best series I've read, but not the worst either (still kept me reading into book 2 anyway). "
