Do you think it's overrated or perfectly rated?

I've heard it said once that it's prose is awful. Is it poorly written? Atleast, does it have a good story?

Obviously pretty subjective to rate books but I'll say I have really enjoyed the series. Once I begin to understand an author's writing style I seem to adapt to it so that's almost a non-factor for me and I am therefore a poor judge of that.

But I really enjoyed the scope and theme of the stories. It goes a lot of places, it does a lot of stuff, there's emotional parts, there's wrongdoings, violence and revenge. The settings I thought were very cool. It's got a lot going on and it's probably one of those books/series where you just have to check it out to see if it clicks with you

Yeah, I also liked it a lot. Massive world building, LOTS happening but even so I couldn't put it down. For me it was an epic saga.
