Fantasy authors need to take notes from David Eddings: he fit a complete ten-novel series into 1500 TPB omnibus pages, which is about the same space modern writers need for a single book (in two volumes). Absolutely exquisite pacing, without stinting on a thing. At no point are you under the impression that he's moving too fast or leaving plot threads unwound or feelings unsaid; virtually perfect novels.

>Have you read the rest of the series?
Almost, haven't read the last two.
>I saw there were some mixed reviews of the next books saying they focus too much on the boring brother
Dark of the Moon has dual Pov, and her brother is the main character for almost the entire book. The rest of the series has Jame as the mc again.

>The plot is tall muscular hobo mommy beating the shit out of everyone for three books.
I'm 760 pages into the 1120 pages of the omnibus, and so far 90% of the book has Paksenarrion being raped, captured (like 5 separate times), tortured, bullied, duped, conned, scammed, mindbroken, and crippled, as well as having a childlike naivete so profound as to border on actual mental retardation, with a brief interlude to witness some random side-character have his cock cut off.
It is without a doubt the stupidest and most incompetent attempt at writing a strong female heroine in fiction that I have ever read, though mercifully, I have not read a particularly large amount of such. I think I'd sooner read an 800 page side-novel by David Eddings about Belgarion's nearly useless wife Ce'Nedra, but perhaps fortunately, Eddings is no longer alive to commit such a crime. Fortunately, Polgara the Sorceress has been written, so I have that to look forward to at least.
