Not for the faint hearted

I have now listened to 8 of the 12 in this series and felt it was time to do a review before beginning No 9. If you are looking for happily ever after's, you are not going to get it with this series, people die, sometimes characters you have enjoyed, some you dislike, you see another side to them. I don't come from a medical background so at times the gore is a bit much but I have managed to move on from this. Possibly if I were reading instead of listening I would need the dictionary beside me to understand the litany of words that are completely foreign to me. You need to read the books in order, otherwise it would be difficult to keep track of the many personalities and characters. 4 to go!
