Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton
4.0

This series started out really slow for me. I gave the first book 3 stars. The second book blew me away, and I gave it 5 stars. The characterization in the second book, I felt, was phenomenal. I was really looking forward to the third book to see how Hamilton concluded this series.

I liked the book overall, but I was disappointed. The pacing was off. For a lot of it, it was like watching paint dry. Which was a lot of the problems in the first book. The characterization was still fantastic.

Hamilton just did not know how to end the series. We went through this long journey to get to the end, and it was over in like 2 pages. And it does flash forward into the future, and I have said before I HATE books that do that. I loathe that. I think it should be left open to your imagination. Not everything should be wrapped up into a pretty little bow. In this case, the future wasn't even what I wanted it to be.

Overall, this last book gets 3.75 stars. I felt like this series had a TON of potential, and I had high hopes after the 2nd book of this being a series I continued to reread in the future. However, it fell flat.
