Boring. Nothing happens! It's just a long string of fight scenes, and when the characters aren't fighting, the protagonist is always crying for reasons that are stated, but don't really feel genuine. The character says she's homesick, but it just doesn't feel like she is. Also, in this particular book the protagonist "discovers" a certain talent of the Hunters that I...kind of assumed was always the case, because it seemed like a really obvious conclusion to draw based off all the other information given? But apparently none of the other Hunters in all the hundreds of years that they have been fighting ever thought of this particular, game-changing ability.
Yeah, okay. If you say so, I guess. But now with this little discovery, it is all the more painfully apparent how "ingenious" the protagonist is supposed to be, even though all of her discoveries are so mundane or the line of reasoning behind them so obvious that all the other characters must be idiots to have not come up with these things long before.
Anyway, there wasn't much here. I just read this a few days ago and I already forgot what the plot was, although having finished the final book I can safely say I'm not even sure that there was a real plot, since that book didn't really have anything going for it in that department. I still liked this book well enough, but it is too dang shallow and the author just doesn't want to dive deeper into this world she has created. It's a darn shame, because it seems like it would be really interesting if she would just take us further into this world!
