I would advise anyone thinking of reading this series to re-examine their choice.  The author while not having totally hideous grammar does have problem from time to time.  The names of characters for example might be messed up or the word choice might be wrong but it is not on every page.  My problem is that the story is mainly composed of poor choices by the hero which make his life more difficult and his only way out is to fight it out of every situation.  This series of books might be more appropriate for YA readers if some of the adult themes were toned down.  This is definitely not up to adult readers requirements.  I was left feeling less and less empathy with Josiah.  He doesn't listen to advice, He doesn't think very well, and his problem solving skills are limited.  When you say that someone is powerful it has to be demonstrated, it has not been.  I have read 80% of this and I am going to stop now because the writing is not getting better and I am completely fed up with his moronic antics.  This was a waste of 4 hours.  Good luck finding good literature.
