I've read the whole series, and, on the whole, it was boring and disappointing. The characters were entertaining, but they just didn't have the same panache as the characters in the previous series, The Obsidian Trilogy. I had a really hard time getting through the last book, just because it was so dull and anti-climactic. In any case, I gave it 3 stars for effort, since I did really like Harrier and Tiercel, however this whole series is nothing compared to Obsidian.
