Title: A story full of cardboard characters and stupidity
Product review: Once again we are dished up a book full of characters without depth, plotting that consists of alternating stupidity and massive battles, and a conflict without any interesting twists or surprizes. The one aspect that makes this book superior to the previous tomes is that it is significantly shorter (hence the two stars). Ringo writes passable battle narrative, but the complete lack of realistic and interesting characters makes the outcomes irrelevant. When you don't care about the characters, you don't care if they live or die.I had hope for the series after the first book, but instead of the author developping as a writer, he has been pumping out formula stories that have gotten worse, not better with each release.This is one franchise that is dead and should have been buried long ago.
