Quit at 56%. I am just not getting on well with this series. On paper I should like it, but it's tedious, lifeless and just can't hold my attention.
Also, the model on the cover is a completely different person from the book 1 guy. I prefer book 1 Eric and that's it.
UPDATE:
I read this, finally. Still bothered by the fact the covers all have a different guy.
Eric realises that someone can murder people and steal their appearances when he gets attacked by the person doing it. But why would someone do that and what can be done about it? Meanwhile, someone assumed dead starts talking to him again. Even for a necromancer, it's slightly weird.
The big issue with this series is that we have big reveals that are supposed to be emotional, but they have zero emotional punch, because we don't know these characters that much. The payoff doesn't really do anything when the characters barely even did anything and half of that was freaking annoying anyway.
The mysteries are competent, the action is pretty good. Hell, Eric is fine as a character, I am okay with him. But something is missing. Sure, the books are pretty short and we are two books in, but what will be left for book 10 to do that has emotion if we blow everything on the first few, when it all doesn't matter that much either? That is my biggest question. At this point people are all just dead around Eric. So we will have new, throwaway, random people forever, because nobody is allowed any development. Plus, we are back to square one with the new ones not liking or trusting Eric.
I would love to see more of the big power players behind the story. So far it all just leads back to the same people, so I don't know if that will stay the same. This is less of a problem, we have more than enough time for developing the world.
