Huh, yeah, I'm not getting the MTV connection either.
Also, I see they're not being subtle about the postapocalyptic world setting...
I've read the first, IDK, 4-5 books? They are... not great. I mean, when people talk about epic fantasy all being Tolkien ripoffs, well, this stuff REALLY is. In my starved-for-more-Tolkien phase, before epic fantasy was hot, I swallowed them anyway, but they're definitely not the best the genre has to offer. (There are like a zillion books, and I've heard from fans that the third-fourth-Nth series is more original and good, but I never got that far, so can't judge.)
