    Every single one of these books is amazing! They're about adventures in the martial world, conquering the land, and the carefree youths on horseback. The ensemble pieces are especially divine, depicting friendships that transcend even familial bonds. I highly recommend the first one—it's incredibly good! I really didn't want to finish it. Even after it's finished, the ending is completely unexpected. Everyone should go read it! [Laughing]
