I started with much enthusiasm because of the way Legon Ascension abruptly ends. Right after the start, I was disappointed. The incredible drama twist I thought wasamazing, became lame and predictable.The book is slow, slower than the other ones, with some fast forward moments on the chapters. I hated that you see everyone's point of view... except from the antagonists. You NEVER know what the Iumenta are planning, how do they take their losses, I mean, the characters in the book always win, how is it that you cant portray the anger on the other side, or something?spoiler alert - The treason that you suspect to be a major issue adding to the drama is solved in TWO LINES. Literally. the traitor is NEVER discovered, even after the end of the book. THAT WAS BEYOND ANNOYING. It does not make justice to characters that appear to be very important throughout the series, say, Arkin.The end of the book was also boring. Too much attention to the procedures and the war, nothing from the other side, its like the bad guys simply lose and thats it.Nothing about the one who plotted so much destruction, no revenge, no drama,no justice, no nothing. The end is BLAH. PLAIN AND INCONSEQUENTIAL.I struggled with the first book (Its too much like ERAGON, by Christopher Paolini), gave it an opportunity with the second one, and felt totally discouraged with the final one. Do I recommend it? Yeah, but don't expect a lot. Its not that good. Specially if you are a Fantasy/Fiction compulsive reader like I am.I hope this review helps readers. As the author states on his website, he doesn't read reviews, but I wish future readers keep this in mind before feeling like I did. Book 1 good, Book 2 a little better, Book 3... No comments.
