Okay Im almost done with book one and Im enjoying it immensely. Im an avid reader and have yet to pic up on the meta-story although Ive gotten clues along the way. I always am ready to look up words to deeper my understanding and not just understand the context. Ive actually been flummoxed because half the words Im looking up arent real words and made up for the story. So now Ive gone ahead and accepted the context instead of definitions.
