Review: to much teen drama!
Rating: 2 out of 5

I devour fantasy books at a rate of about 4 a week normally.  Unfortunately I couldn't finish this book.  I liked the first book in the series, but the second book seems focused around a teenage relationships and finding love for the first time.  The main character is a boy, yet somehow exhibits all the traits of a poorly written teenage girl love story.  I made it about 40% of the way into the book.  Hoping the insanity would stop.  He loves the guy we get it move on please.  Instead he spends most of his time with inward dialog about his concerns or talking to his teenage friends about it.No actual plot progression for most of the book, at 40% in only about 2% moves the plot forward.  There has been more progress about a new character on the other side of the world than the main characters.  I'm sure this is a set up for the integration of the two characters, but still one out of every 20 pages may talk about moving forward with their plans.  But most of that is in the form of meetings where nothing actually happens.I will probably finish this off, or at least try to after I take a break and read another book.Great character development, Poor plot development (talking about planning to do something isn't plot development, is it?).Too much DRAMA!!!
