Review: Seems to be all over the place

The writing is substantially improved from the first books.  There is more character development for everyone except Nath, who for some reason is just impossible to figure out.  Clearly, the author is trying to portray this in terms of maturity: that Nath is now less arrogant and more centered.  The story tries to make us feel the frustration and internal conflict Nath is feeling at not being able to kill, but there's too many other things going on.  Tons of antagonists come and go without any real development of their own, and it's just not easy to figure out what the point is here.Again, the writing flow is improved - tremendously.  But the plot and storytelling seems to be going adrift.
