And as I already own the firs...

I've started reading this series in May, last week I've started Swordsong.
I really love the books, they are so different to most of the HF novels available.
Only thing I'm not so happy with is that there's no conclusion to the series yet and that not even the author himself knows when he'll end it.

First I read HF for entertainment, because that's why fiction is written. But then I also want to learn something. My history lessons at school have been very basic, and we totally skipped the middle ages - from Roman times (not even the Fall of Rome) we went directly to French Revolution... And liv...

I want to be able to re-read them if I want to, so I just can't give them away. When I entered these books into a list (several tabs at ...
