glad you like them - they just get better
the unpredicatable bit is the key for me - you cant predict who will die and the character development is so good that "evil" characters can become "good" and vice versa as you get to know them - the "point of view" style works very well indeed. Whats more, he can actually write children...nobody says anything or thinks anything you wouldnt expect them to, that includes the immature minds of the children.
