I despise zack. He’s a miserable and boring character. I really don’t understand why this book was focused on him. He is a second rate side character and somehow the author saw fit to put him on the main stage. Also the numerous chapters of other characters that I am hoping will lead to something eventually but certainly not in this book. There also doesn’t seem to be much cohesion with the characters. That’s probably what pains me the most. It’s more like a solo story of characters I don’t care about. I’m hoping book 3 gets back on track but it’s not looking good.
