Hah, Robert Jordan taught me to watch for the phrase "[n]th (and final)". No, I won't start on that book, but I'll definitely pick up a copy of the first :)
Hint: I remastered the original six book series in three revised omnibus editions circa 2011. (There's then a subsequent trilogy, of which "Invisible Sun" is the climax.) Anyway, start with "The Bloodline Feud" rather than the slim original marketed-as-fantasy six-pack. I learned a lot in the decade between writing the first books and re-doing them, and the omnibus versions read more cleanly.
