I had so many unanswered questions! While I appreciate that Stephanie doesn't write to what the reader expects/wants, which I find more realistic in a storyline, I felt frustrated that characters would go through a bunch of work to use or find a magical object, and then the object wouldn't do much for their quest. The plot felt like running around in circles without making much progress. Stephanie's 2nd series with Evangeline Fox seemed like it had a better laid out story line across the novels.
