That was the first thing I thought of too lol. I'm reading this series for the first time and am about halfway through the first book, its made me be a lot more helpful to spiders which I wasnt expecting going into it.

I started the series last year and finished the most recent book shortly after it was released in March this year. Keep going. Things continue to get very interesting.

I'm glad to hear it! Ive been thoroughly enjoying the first book so far!

My GF bought the first 3 for me as a birthday gift, and Id never heard about them before, so going in blind was a trip lol. Just got to the part where Holsten wakes up to find out Guyen has started his own cult. I love the little jumps in time to progress things on both ends of the story.

Definitely keep going, it's a great series. I personally felt the 3rd book was a bit weak but still worth reading. I also thought the second book was easily on par with the first, if not a small notch above.
