Books like Broken Sky: #02

After the effort I went into to purchase this entire series (After picking up two locally, for cheap and having to buy the rest from a mix of vendors on ebay etc), I decided I really should read them. I have owned them for probably ten years!They're decent books, reminiscent of Deltora Quest although the plots are more straightforward and with less fun little puzzles. The writing style is good, and action packed, although the Japanese/manga/anime influence is very strong and, since Wooding is an English fellow, seems a little derivative. That doesn't mean they're not enjoyable though, just that I feel his later books - like "Malice" show more of a fresh originality. Still it shall be interesting to see with this series leads, with every book pretty much leading directly onto the next.
