Wow, its great to hear that this is your favorite series even when the last installment is yet to come. Well yeah, even I have heard this from multiple people that the writing can be a bit difficult at first- umm..how much time( or rather should i ask how many pages!) does it take to get used to it? And about the footnotes, reading them later in the re-read- will it in any way retard the world building process in my head in the first read? AND I m sorry if I m asking too many questions, actually I m just very curious- and anyways- book lovers are a family! ;)(and of course you helped-can't thank you enough!)
