The Fire Ascending by Chris d'Lacey
Did not finish book. Stopped at 49%.
DNF at 50%
This kinda hurts, only because I was so close to completing the series. But realistically, if i give myself 2 months to finish a book by the end of the year and 3 months pass and I'm only 50% done... yeah there's probably a reason I'm never picking it up.
The first book is good, the second one is fine, and the rest of the series isn't worth your time. I think my biggest problem with this series is that it got too big too quickly. It's the end of book 2, and we're already saving the entire planet from this universe ending threat? What are the following 5 books supposed to be? Honestly books 3-7 blend together so much I couldn't even tell you what happens in each one. The first one is charming, but don't waste your time on all 7.
