I really enjoyed this book series

4 étoiles

What a great book. I was a bit reserved after having watched the tv show and wasn’t sure if I should try the book series. I am glad that I did.

The mixture of magic, fantasy and medieval-like lands is exactly what I like. Really excited to see what the next book is about!
