I AM SO DISAPPOINTED!!

I have come so far into this series, I had to drag myself through it and I am thoroughly disappointed. Mind you, this is the 5th book in the series. This had so much potential and would have made a great trilogy. 

Judging by the first book, I had high hopes from this series. But it all went downhill after the 2nd book. The plot drags on, with scenes or events lingering longer than necessary. The narrative feels tiresome and monotonous, with little advancement in the storyline. I believe that the author was trying to drag the story to the point where it could be a 6-books-series, whereas the story had the potential to make a trilogy- and a good one at that. 

Apart from being forcefully dragged, the story also failed to engage with me. I kept wanting to DNF it, and I really should have, but I had come too far into the series to drop it at that time. At the expense of getting disappointed again, I might as well read the next book, which is 6th and last in the series.
