You who have read Jordan, Hobb, Williams, Goodkind, Feist, Gemmell ... welcome to a cycle of 10 volumes, an epic cycle, complex and captivating. All your antecedent readings will become bland when you begin Erikson. This series stands out for its wealth, with its frightening realism, and the absence of recurring Manichaeism in Fantasy. The first 200 pages of the first volume are not the most accessible, but we must persevere because joy is waiting for you, believe me!
