It does make sense. :)
It's high fantasy in very specific terms, as it has high fantasy tropes, but it's... not as heavy as a lot of them tend to be. It's a very fun series, it's not too difficult prose-wise, it's not overly complicated, and I ended up just living in my chair for 3 days gobbling it up. One of the few books that I have read and then listened to the audio of because I loved it so much. (Also, the narrator for the audiobooks is amazing. Just throwing that out there).
However, if you want very specific high fantasy that is more along the lines of Lord of the Rings or Dragonlance or Wheel of Time, than this is a bit more 'modern' feeling than any of those are. I'm not sure how I can explain what that means.
It feels fresher? Lol this isn't working.
If you'd like a sample of it without committing money to it, here's a sampler of some short stories from the same universe: The Sampler
Well, I think it's worth reading - but I may be biased ;-). Seriously though I have a number of free short stories. If you try one or several of them, and like what you find, then the chances are good that you'll enjoy the larger novels. Here are some Amazon links:
If you prefer audio books, I have two shorts on audible.com that you might like.
