Rules Of Ascension

A series that's been round for a while now. It's good enough to read if you are clamoring for some fantasy with a lot of politics and scheming and slowly building conspiracies. It's a slower paced series and it can take you a few books to get the big picture. Frankly, I found myself bored after a few books in. If you want a more modern idea of fantasy with lots of action and suspense blending in with political drama (i.e. a Sanderson novel say), you won't find that here.There's too much attention given to the whole political angle in the five books -- so much that the story is often stalled. However, this series is a decent read and if you want a slower paced political fantasy with good world building and conspiracies, pick it up.
