Entertaining series, yet the author is unbelievably lazy in his plot twists and/or thinks the reader is an idiot. At some point, some jarl has 150 fighting man. He goes to battle, loses it badly and next thing you know, he has "several hundred" men when he (immediately) attacks to another place. Just a one example. Yet if you can get over these random idiocies (few per book), it is worth listening.
