New JV Jones novel (A sword from Red Ice)

Thanks i appriciate it.

I dont mind a character being not interesting early, i was just surprised by the lack of world building. Not anymore now i know there is another series earlier in the same world.

I would say that it is very important to read the previous trilogy.

The dog lord FTW!!

I'm not sure about that. There are (so far) only two characters who were in the first trilogy who are in the current quintet. However, the final line of Book 1 makes far more sense if you've read Book of Words.

I haven't read the Books of Words trilogy - I didn't even know it was related (apart from the author), but I really love this series.

Book Of Words isn't that necessary to read first and I didn't like it much compared to her current series which really rocks!!

Have just seen on jvj.com that jvj's posted the prologue of book IV - titled 'Watcher of the Dead'. Not read it yet though.
