Like the other reviewer, I blew through these books quickly finishing in less than a week. While I love the series I have to agree the main character goes with the flow and lets everyone push him around far too much... I was hoping that was beginning to change especially with how this book started and he began asserting himself a little and why he acts that way was explained to him. It began to fizzle part way through however with the mc going with the flow again and just doing what everyone wants ... Spoiler below.... although he does go against everyone at the end it just feels like he gave up everything and is now only going against everyone else to help them once again... gets tiring*****SPOILER******---------------------------------------------*****SPOILER******He even ends up giving up the woman he loved and lost due to the kings mechanisms... I figured in this one he would try to get back together as it was continually  shown that he was interacting with her and growing a back bone.... instead he ends up marrying a girl he essentially bought although he only did that to protect her, who is mentally handicapped and whom he was originally planning to adopt... now i know that he was marrying her to protect her from her father but just after thinking up that plan he sets up an assassination to kill the father and has the trial delayed so she can hide with him while hes going to visit afrak... essentially marrying a girl he just met in this book, whom he bought, rather than the other girl whom was in all 4 book or several other girls including some whom were in all 4 and other in 2 or 3 .... just felt forced especially when he sets up several plans that make it not necessary
