The series should have ended on the second book, at least. All I could think since the very first page was that the author was really scrapping the bottom of a barrel where the food was also slightly past expiration date. Maybe if this book wasn't part of this series I would have been slightly more tolerant. To b honest, at some points I just skipped full pagest to end the suffering sooner. I do appreciate that the author at least tried to pretend this all had been planned from the beggining but there are only so many places a story  that was already finished could go.
