Books are great. All do have some oddities. Fusioncode mentioned one. The description of food at times goes from descriptive into bizarre. Like he was getting turned on by writing about the food.
Series is great as well only I have one BIG issue with it. Something that I suspect some other people couldn't care less about. However it is so typical of American fantasy. It's in this fantasy medieval setting yet you get all these characters with perfectly straight bleached white teeth, perfect professional make-up, styled and dyed hair. I know for some people it would be a tiny thing but for me it totally pulls me out of the immersion and makes it look cheap and carelessly made.
