Possibly the most overrated book in Fantasy at the moment. Everyone is upset there is not a third. But I couldn't make it past halfway through the second. The Character development is non-existent, supposedly holding it all for the last book when we're supposed to find out how the main character changed so much. But the build up simply isn't worth it. The kid floats through life, perfect at everything he tries, leaving no actual tension or conflict. It's boring, it's poorly written. It's baffling to me why it's rater so highly.
