Pretty fun series, thanks in large part to Jim. Fairly original concept with the dragon angle, I enjoyed that. The plot lines aren't that original, but the dragons and overall magic structure at least bring something new to the table.I also like that this is a set 4 book series, no continuation into a neverending series that continues to slide downhill release after release. I just read the first 3, and I'm sure I'll get around to the last one of these days.
