Annoying in parts but overall not bad.
Okay, first of all this isn't a five star book no matter how many reviews suggest it is. Anywhere between 3-4 stars is fair for the series when compared to other books in this genre.
The overall story is quite good as it goes and it's why it has kept my interest over it's flaws. While there are dialogue weaknesses throughout the series that will make you cringe it is mostly okay. Most of the characters are good, though it is kind of annoying the way they all fawn over the MC though the books and not enough people see him as a huge fraud yet. Heck, even his brother bought it in the last one despite going from being an incompetent swordsman with no magic talent to an expert swordsman and the most powerful mage in the kingdom inside a year. How no-one questions his keep pulling ancient unknown lore and power out of his behind is getting a bit of a joke at this point.
While I do for the most part like the MC the author is just trying to paint him as too perfect, while accidently just making him come over as an arrogant, self-centred tool a lot of the time. Heck in the second famine he could spread the way he saved his village to the whole kingdom, but does he? Books are littered with this type of thing.
Plot of the books so far has been fine. There are plot holes and times where the author has had characters do things, or events have happened merely to drag out the plot or make it more dramatic. Example. People escaping when a spell or arrow into a horse would have put paid to their escape. I thought the author was just a horse lover given no horses got harmed in the war it seemed, but apparently that isn't the case given the last book in these two.
Books are good overall so far, though I did have the most frustrations with these two out of the series if I'm honest, but that could easy be me nit-picking. Narration was very good and does helps somewhat gloss over the dialogue problems.

Bland
The main character has stayed the same bland person since the start and the author has several characters react to the same thing over and over.

Love it
Main character is strong and you know it by the story, but the solutions to the problems he faces still have you a little on edge of your seat.
Excellent storyteller, good pace, good voice.

good premise but its hard to like
has great potential but I'm disappointed in how many abhorrent characters there are in this and how everyone acts like they are great, the main character doesn't have many struggles and acts like he is good but he is only slightly better than the others. also, keep introducing new bad guys to compare him to but they are often just left unresolved, maybe I'm just picky and untrusting but there seems to be way too high a review on this series.
