Review: And this is where I depart.
Rating: 3 out of 5

The story felt like it was going nowhere, and I got sick to death of being told which character spoke after every line of dialogue. The latter is such a rookie mistake, and Mr. Wells has written too many books to still be doing that. I'll have someone tell me how this series ends. I'm out!UPDATE:I decided to finish the book, and it got much better, so I upped the rating to three stars. I may finish the series after all, but having Alexander as this know-everything being that can travel anywhere in the world made for some surprisingly boring reading. There was mystery or tension or thrills because of this. And what was with all the monsters during the finale? The author just kept throwing them at the heroes for no apparent reason. And then there are the healing draughts. Good grief! Can't someone get hurt and actually suffer the effects without being magically fixed?
