Well, i liked it.  Although some stretches of some of the books got a
little boring.  And for me it never seemed to have a very conclusive
ending.
Oh!  I forgot something....in the second and later books, there are more
conlangs - dialects spread across different tribes, and as the characters
travel from one to the other you can see the language slowly shifting.
It's very cool.
