![]() ![]() ![]() For the most part, this is not a negative. There are lots of situations and conversations and discussions with occasional activity/action thrown in. That said, the plots in each of the books are relatively compact - i.e. no society could survive in worlds dominated by even "heros" who are somewhat craven - much less so many people with less than zero humanity in them. This series is dominated by mostly positive character development that feels more realistic. So many authors these days create a collection of one dis-likable character after another. There are a few irritating tendencies like the overuse of phases like "perfect bow," but overall the series has been enjoyable. The same chapter can switch between the viewpoints of different characters for the same events. Another oddity of the writing is that as the books proceed, no standard narrator or point of view device is used. It is a little problematic in the last three books as references to the plot in the Sun Sword series as somewhat frequent. There's no impact at all in the 1st three books as there's no reference to events that technically happen in the future. A 2nd group of six books (not on Audible) called The Sun Sword (under the name Michelle Sagara) sit between the 1st three books and the last three books of House War. My understanding is the 1st three books start the plot. The oddity of this series is that it was written/released out of order. Series is 12 Books - Missing Middle 6 Books ![]()
