There's also an age gap, I think it's 5, 6, or 7 years. The author's writing is excellent; it vividly depicts the scenes, like watching a movie. The first book is finished and incredibly good. The second book is still ongoing and is currently very enjoyable. The author updates daily. I highly recommend both of these books!!!
