The Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass. Pure GENIUS.
Beautifully constructed world. Amazing characterization. Brilliant plot and story.
Chock full of love, laughter, confusion, betrayal, death, blood, gore, sex (not graphic anyway), and the struggle between doing your duty or staying true to oneself.

A lot of it is a very intricate look into our own lives. The characters feel real. As they are posed with certain situations they don't seem robotic. Or preprogrammed. They are as heartfelt, emotional, and spontaneous as any regular person. Yet at the same time they are extraoridnary characters.

I highly recommend this series for anyone who loves a good Fantasy novel. Or even just a good book overall.

Have fun
