1. This is my first book review. This series is so, so good; I'm obsessed. I've read probably a thousand books - some I liked, some I loved, some I considered using as kindling. (I only mention these things so hopefully you get a sense of just of sincere I'm being.)
2. There's a character for everyone. Everyone has a character they can connect with or see at least a little of themselves in.
3. When re-reading, it is so well-written that parts of the books still make me laugh, still get my heart pumping, still have me wanting to read faster just so I know how it end. I KNOW HOW IT ENDS and it still makes me respond viscerally.
4. This is literally the only - read that again - books I've re-read. When a new book comes out...I re-read the series and I still get just a little more out of it. I read it differently and I love it just a little more.
PS: I will just conitnue to hope that one day Michael will come out with a collector's edition bundle with both the The Aldoran Chronicles and the Street Rats of Aramoor.
Michael, thank you for this gift. Know that I am 100% recommending this series to anyone who asks (and some that don't).
