I tried six times to finish the first book and I couldn't. The tone is too dark, and the characters too unlikable. I didn't care what happened to anyone, and eventually stopped reading each time.
I guess I'll check out the alternative reading order. Although six times is a heck of a lot of chances to give a series.
So many people have praised it that I feel like I'm missing something, so I keep trying again whenever I don't know which book to read next.
