Elliot is rather conceited. And the oh poor me gets old. How many times does it have to be repeated? Then throw in the gratuitous sex. Sloppy. Ms. Puckett sounds bored reading. Don’t blame her. It is difficult to get into the story. Also disappointed that there wasn’t more on the magic, the training and such. Sex, harem for Elliot, and a smattering of magic. A waste or time and money.
