Shadow Games

Unfortunately, after 3 books of 5/5, in this one the series has run out of steam, imagination and pace. For 35 chapters nothing happens, then, boom, in 5 chapters everything happens. The antagonists are lame and undescript, the story is slow but straightforward, lacking the great twists in the previous books, a love relationship is awkward and not believable, other interactions are not credible, some characters are completely undeveloped, there is too much useless talk, and so on. A malus for me (though a bonus for some other readers) - the Goblin - One-Eye conflict gets more stage time, though I find their endless feud unfunny, unimaginative, annoying and, in this volume, a filler in a book already mostly composed of fillers.
