Starting at the end of the last book, the writing gets lazy and characters are introduced for filler. Annoying prolonged dialogue that doesn’t do anything but fill space. The characters introduced are just to fill space “showing their personality”. Which consists of caricatures doing typical dialogue. Like sassy girl, nerdy guy, and gruff dwarf. It’s the only reason they were added. Annoying filler dialogue on an already short book. The fights also get nonsensical and the character development is barely thought through. No consistency In skill
level ups or experience. And when they need to beat someone strong, the person/monster just gets dumb enough for them to beat. Having no self preservation or tactical thought.
