Review: Great ideas but too much crazy stuff happening

I loved the idea for the Dark Lands series but the execution of the concept was a little amateur.  Great description in the writing but way too much stuff happened as far as the plot.  If the plot had been streamlined it would have been excellent. But it felt like BAM, something happens, all is ok for a few pages then BAM something else, then BAM - yet another killer assassin villain.  It was just too much.  It felt like the author wasn't sure how to end it so just kept throwing in whatever came into her mind.I'm going to read the next book though because I'm hoping the plot was whittled down in the next installment. Plus the imagery, description and premise really are fresh and original.
