I loved the first nine books of the series. The strength of the previous books was the rich conversations, the characters, the interactions, the growth and development and the humor. Most of book ten has none of this. Most of book ten is just simple narration without the richness of the first nine books. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was secretly written by a different author. I’d rather believe that than the likely explanation Neven Iliev lost his love of storytelling and his characters. I’ll probably still get book eleven when it comes out because I did love the first nine books, but I’m not actually looking forward to another in this series if it continues like book ten.
