The premise of the series is great; godling siblings, the descent of one into evil, magic and rebirth. It has all the elements.
Most of the important characters are well-written and fleshed out, with some depth to them. Although some of them are less detailed, it is not important, as they ultimately play smaller roles.
As an epic fantasy on a grand scale, the series is not easy to follow, and requires a bit of concentration to follow all the meanderings of the tale, but this means that it does keep you focused, and in a work of this length you have to expect some complications. It makes it more interesing to read.
The way the book ends leaves it open for a potential sequel, perhaps set twenty years or so in the future. To be honest, I found the ending a little predictable, especially the epilogue, but this is to be expected in this genre and does not detract from the enjoyment of the story.
All in all, a very satisfying read.
