Best thing to come in the world? I think so. I have read the series 3 times.
If you haven't read it, READ IT.

I'm going to need a bit more than the name of a book and someone telling me to read it to actually compel me to read it 
That I will do.
First book - Fall of a Kingdom
Second book - Rise of a Hero
Third book - Forging the sword
Summary - The Hrum empire has conquered half of the known world, and has set it's eyes on the Kingdom of Farsala. The kingdom has no chance to survive from the brute force of the massive Hrum kingdom, but they have one hope. The Hrum once battled a kingdom for years, and when the war was over, there was nothing else to gain. From that point onward, the Hrum gave itself a deadline of three months to conquer a kingdom, if they could not, the Kingdom was an ally, and given benefits from the Hrum. Alas, only 4 kingdoms have survived 3 months, so the chances are bleak. Legends state that when Farsala is in danger, the legendary Sorahb will rise to save the kingdom.
This book is about Farsala's desperate struggle to survive against the Hrum, featuring a bastard son, a King's daughter, and a crippled peddlar that will affect the outcome of Farsala's future.

Actually, it is the opposite, completely action packed, filled with battle, and well written. Hilari Bell is a talented author.
Actually, I am the opposite, I can't stand things in the future. I think it was more... honorable back in the medieval times, anyone can shoot a gun, it takes skill to use a blade.

It's a book aimed for teenagers. I read it a while back, even though I enjoyed parts of it...some of it was just meh. Especially the third book. The first one was awesome, the second one built up for a grand finale and the third book just kind of fell short.
The magic explanation though is fun.
I much prefer Lorna Freeman's series starting with Covenants. Not many authors come out with a 5 out of 5 star novel as their first novel. It's highly entertaining.
(I'm also a sci-fi lover)
EDIT: I hate it when people say it takes skill to use a blade, and anyone can shoot a gun.
I can turn it around: anyone can swing a sword, but it takes skill to shoot a gun.
Both take lots of skill to use effectively.

Well, I do like the Ender's series. You know, Ender's game, ender's shadow, etc.
I also like the Dune sci-fi book, but that's about it.

I disliked the Ender's series.
Dune on the other hand is bloody epic.

What Quail said about the series is quite accurate. I read the first two books when I was younger, before the third one was released. The first was the best, the second became a bit muddled, and I never had a chance (or motivation) to read the third. Definitely not a mature fantasy though. Aimed at the younger readers, around 10-14 if you possess a modicum of intelligence.

That bit sounds really, really, really stupid.
Speaking of fantasym, anyone read the Goblin Corps yet? Saw it in a Barnes down in the states, but I couldn't get it due to that particular branch having a exceptional collection of Ray Bradbury.

Of don't forget the Hrum have the only supply of the "special" metal.
Yeah, they seem kinda OP at the start...
