Review: Too Perfect

Everything was too perfect, the main characters are set up to win from the start.  They never face any hardships and never lose in battle, or politics, or any other area.  There is also no real plot line for the book because what  could have been conflicts that lasted a whole book were overcome in a few chapters by the main characters.  You spend the entire story jumping from completed plot line to completed plot with little to no climax or suspense.  Broquard seems to think that by adding an exclamation point at the end of each sentence in a paragraph the situation suddenly becomes exciting; it does not.Another thing that irked me was that practically all of the main characters go from knowing little to no magic to becoming archmages (a title that is extremely rare in the story and something that few achieve) in just a few chapters.  The magic system is not explained in the slightest, just that they learned different spells and that some were harder to learn than others.  We do not learn how they cast spells or why some are harder than others they just do/are.
