What's your favorite quote from The Fall and what should I get my copy personalized with tonight?

Hi!

I have had this series in my backlog for some time, and after I finish Liveship Traders and Tawny Man, the next series on my pile of books is The Bound and the Broken. I’m a bit of a physical editions hoarder. I read only digital but like to have the series I love (or think really hard I will love) on physical editions.

Everything I’ve read about this series has hyped me so much that I bought the new editions of the first book and novella and preordered the second, just cause the fact that they are limited got me a bit of fomo (also those covers are goated)

From the series people say it takes its inspirations from, I’ve never read Eragon nor The FaithFull and the Fallen. I’ve read Wheel of Time until book 5 and liked it (books 2 and 4 were great) and will finish it in the future.

So, as fans of the series, what can I expect from it?

I’ve read people say the quality of the writing is not good in book 1 and improves later. I don’t expect at all Robin Hobb level of writing, for example my favorite series of all time is Dresden Files and it’s quick and modern, but want to know if this is an accepted fact or just divisive opinions

How is the character work? Again, not expecting Hobbs level cause she is the goat but I do love interesting characters with arcs that make them mature and change

How are Ryan Cahill plotting skills? Weaving different plot threads, foreshadowing, plot twists…

Thanks in avance, I’m really hyped after my purchase. I’m convinced that I will have a great time but also want to read different opinions to ground me a bit or hype me even more.
