I finished this book, and I don't know why. I have read some books like this and was unable to get through most of them. This is the type of book that... everything goes too well. The good characters are REALLY good. They are understanding and easy to get along with. They are supportive of each other. They also have incredible skills and items that make everything they face seem as daunting as a walk in a park. The 'bad' guys or antagonists are pathetic. They are the type that monologues and incompetent to the utmost degree.Some of them have their own charms this is true but they don't have any flaws that make them seem real. Alex is just over the top in all respects. He takes everything in stride, nothing actually affects him. He is great at everything he does and is ridiculously understanding.I wont be buying book 2. The antagonists are essentially a name. No true threat to the main characters is hinted at and parts of the story are so heavily foreshadowed (they basically just tell you what will happen) it takes what little may have been an interesting development into a forgone conclusion.
