I'd say.. it's average. My favourite one out of the whole series would still be the first one.. i don't know why.. i guess first things always contain the best stuff. The ending was not what i had expected... or what i hoped would happen.. but hey, it still isn't half bad! I won't spoil anything... but I guess people will have to read for themselves ! This was the first series I have ever tried to read, that was in Fantasy. I mean, goblins, dragons, magic?! It wasn't my genre.. but in the end, I loved all the power and magic spells... it was like a form of my world transformation where I didn't have to relate to anything... 3.5 / 5 !
