First time reader and only up to The shadow rising. Loving the books. I Was quite looking forward to the series for hubby who is not a reader. To say I am confused and dissapointed is an understatement. He has given up watching as I can no longer translate what is happening. It has departed from the the story in so many ways . Morraine loosing her abilities has baffled me. Will I persist with the series ?maybe , maybe not definitely not happy about it though . Hopefully it can get back on track.
