I have to say that I am surprised at the number of 5-star reviews on this book and a little disappointed that so many reviewers just skip over its faults as if there weren't any.  My big complaint over this book is that it is boring.I read Book 1, liked it and bought Book 2 immediately but Books 3 onwards won't get a chance.  The reason:?  I am about half way through Book 2 and have lost interest because there is nothing new happening.  The bad guys all have psychic powers that they should be able to just finish off any opposition but after torturing them almost to death, something unbelievable happens and they escape.  The author also spends far many pages on a Eulogy for one of the characters who has barely appeared in the book.  Then there are far too many pages spent on the wedding of two of the characters describing it in almost minute detail.  One page on each would have been plenty in the context of the story but I guess that would have made the book too short.However, my main dislike of the book is that the person who is to defeat the forces of evil hasn’t even been born yet.  How many books does the author intend to include in this series?  The forces of good are down to almost zero participants and zero resources right now and we are to believe that they are going to hold out for another 20years or so for the saviour to be born and grow up?  ‘Get real !!’ as we say down in this part of the world.Sorry but there are far too many other books worth reading to spend time on a book that is not going anywhere fast.
