Life's too short to read boring books. All things considered, I should have known the signs with the middle book. No character depth, not a single character I was interested in, and a few even a bit repulsive to me, like Siderea. The only character I cared a little bit about was Kamala. I made it to the 50% mark skimming, and then decided to just call it quits.

This trilogy might be for some people, but ultimately, not for me. I started in high spirits with the first book, and it quickly lost the plot for me with subsequent books. If you enjoy fantasy with an interesting magic system and a nemesis race that seems loosely based on an insectoid version of Dragonriders of Pern, and are not looking for deep characters you can relate to, it might be for you though.
