I did not enjoy Fifth Season, so never bothered going beyond that.

I didn’t enjoy the frequent switch between first, second and third person and I honestly didn’t think it was that interesting of a story, but for some reason people seem to rave about it. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Absolutely so, and I relish diversity and that there's lots out there.

The only thing is, it makes me treat reviews and recommendations with great caution. I have some friends who like most of the books I like, but they also like some utter dross, and don't like things I consider wonderful. So one is left to one's own devices.
