I read so many negative reviews about this trilogy but so far I'm captivated.

I'm around 40% of book 1 and the story is really interesting!

The main character is a bit grey so far but I am finding most side characters really compelling.

The author has done a great job so far in making me curious about what will happen next, which is one of the main ingredients that make me like a book.

I'm not an English native speaker and I'm reading this in english to improve my language skills as well so probably I don't notice any flaws in the prose if there are.

What were your first impressions?
