ajtgirl: no - they are really good - i cant say there isnt romance - but its not sappy - the point of the books is a philosophical look at the rules of magic and the application of these rules as an art form - each book is based on a rule... and the main characters discovering of its artistic application - i highly recommend...
Eriisa: no way - the last one just came out this month or last - i think you have some catching up to do - there are like 12 of them i think.... at least 10....
