I used to be on a fantasy discussion forum where the general consensus was that the first book was great, but the sequels kind of sucked. Have not read them myself.
Blood Song is a fantastic book, the Tower Lord and Queen Of Fire are genuinely awful. He starts to branch out in characters (Blood Song being exclusively told from two POVs and in different styles). The end is also very anti climatic. Probably one of the most disappointing series I’ve ever seen after such a strong debut entry.
I loved blood Song and even though there were some spots I felt as if I was slogging through in the end I also really liked tower lord. Two years later after trying both the book and audio version I still haven’t finished queen of Fire. I do kinda want to read Blood Song again though it’s really good.
I liked blood song very much, just finished tower lord which was also quite good. Will read the third book in a few weeks, but I’m already a bit wary with all the negative reviews
Enjoyed it!
Thoroughly enjoyed the series but the first book, blood song, was by far the best

It was fine, it scratched an itch for military fantasy, but easily forgettable. It’s worth a look but won’t be topping any lists.
I read the first book. At the time I felt no need to read the next one.
I really enjoyed the whole series. Yes, the 2nd and 3rd weren’t as good but I still enjoyed them.
Good series, get into it
Great series.

Loved blood song and the second book, was underwhelmed by the third book.
