For fans of historical fiction as well as epic fantasy, the book that started the phenomenon is amazing, from start to finish. The characters and world fly off the page, where I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The series itself is based off of War of the Roses and Tudor England, with dashes of other historical places and events as well (such as Hadrian's Wall.) The first book is amazingly well-written, with the perfect balance between showing and telling. From reading the first book, it's easy to see how this series has left such a huge footprint on pop culture.
