The story was very juvenile and became very repetitive. The story could have gone in so much more yet it stalled with the main character not progressing into the hero that was being alluded to. With all the narrative being predictable and not moving forward. The main character is not gaining much confidence after each fight. In a main fight he then is running away half way through. The author does not seem to grasp much about multiple participation in a fight. Author sets up a fight then only 2 of the 5 people are in the fight, Odd. Buy at your own risk this book series I will not be buying the next.
