This is a great book series for anyone who enjoys fantasy novels. The world that Brett creates is amazing,and full of magic with some mystery. The characters are greatly developed over the first three books, and the plot is great. Currently there are three books out. The Warder Man, The Desert Spear, and The Daylight War. With two more books that have yet to be written. These are amazing books, and I would strongly suggest them to anyone looking for a new book to read.
