Why do you recommend this book? This series is easily the most complete fictional world I have seen (more so than even Lord of the Rings.)
The characters are rich and the major plots and subplots are exciting and feel epic. It is beautfully written and easily understood. There are many mysteries and puzzles throughout that will bring anyone who reads them to think.

Is this a book, manga, or graphic novel? This is a 14 book series that still awaits it's final part near the end of this year.
