James Potter and the Vault of Destinies by G. Norman Lippert
2.0
This is my least favorite of the series.
The beginning felt like it dragged on for freakin' ever and the ending felt so insanely rushed. However, my real problem with the book was how the author chose to depict Alma Aleron. Much of the details of the school included very stereotypical American things (sororities, frats, beer, etc.) that it almost seemed like the school was a joke. Including the stereotypes would have been fine, but he did it in such a demeaning way that it wasn't enjoyable. It ended up feeling like lazy writing and I found myself rolling my eyes a lot and wanting to skip ahead. All in all, I wasn't impressed this time.
