fiction ever created. She deserves every hundred million pounds she earns from this.
I can't even IMAGINE taking on a series like this myself, with the level of detail that she has committed to it.
Her storytelling ability, her plotting, along with her characterization is unmatched in any book (or series of books) that I've ever read.
Didn't you at least like the Chronicles of Narnia? I loved that series, and this is a thousand times better, especially with regard to the characters.
