the first few books were reasonably entertaining
admittedly there was some bollocks in them, but believe me they have got worse. The last 6 or so books have been so full of completely bollocks philosophising and increasingly complicated descriptions of how magic works in ridiculous ways.

However, I've persevered and I'd quite like to know how the whole lot ends.

This book seems to be centred on the main character having been captured by the enemy, having disguised his identity, and being made to take part in a rugby-like game which is at the centre of the "Old World"'s way of life.

In the bit I just read he twisted someone's head until their neck broke during a game. great stuff
