I feel like I gave this a valiant effort. I’m halfway through book 2 and I just can’t finish through. I listen to audio books at work and thought this would be awesome because of the 45+ hours, but I found myself not even paying attention and then not caring to go back and find out what I missed. The story is so slowly progressing that I don’t even care anymore. The main character can manipulate magic, cool, but that’s STILL all we know almost 20 hours in. The most interesting part is the relationship between Ethan and Chris and we still don’t know a lot about that right now either. Sad to say I can’t finish this series, I am just so bored. It’s a shame. Oh and also, the narrator makes me think of Sarah from Pretty Little Liars and it’s weird.
