Okay the first book in this series is great. Such a good story and hard to put down. Just amazing. But Whatever you do. Stop reading this series after Book One.I don't know if the author of Book One died and his horny ADHD son took over writing the series or if maybe he became addicted to crack after cashing in that first authors check but whatever happened the series just starts sinking from first class epic original fantasy into short bus angsty teen slash fiction after a few chapters into Book Two.I don't mean to be harsh but I kept reading this series thinking it would eventually turn back around and return to being on plot and making some sense of the immature ramblings and day to day minutia of the main characters. But it only became worse.By book four the characters had all lost their depth and mooring and had devolved into some teenage boy's erratic sex fantasies peppered with projections of the authors low sense of self worth and the need to be aggrandized by others.The storyline jumped from one unresolved plot device to another with little rationality and the main larger plots which had kept me reading had seemed to be forgotten or set aside because some new shagging opportunity came up.The free-love narrative the main characters fell into made any relationship attachments in the book shallow and un-empathizing to the point you just stopped caring who ended up with who. and the complete lack of interest by the main characters to the big plot issues that were built up in the start of the series made all the many ADHD written mini plots annoying because you wanted to just grab everyone and shake them and make them stop having sex with each other and telling us how great the main character is and get back on point.So frustrating. I wish it were possible for another author to redo the series starting after the Book One. I was so into this series and am now just angry I foolishly read through four books of mind numbing immature slash fiction before realizing it was never going to get back the Book One appeal.I'm giving the first book 5 stars and warning everyone to just stop with it.
