The King of Bones and Ashes

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this book (there is something magic about New Orleans). That said, the characters were thin and essentially indistinguishable from each other in terms of voice, personality, etc., and the plot somehow managed to be boring even when talking about magic, voodoo, etc. I also hated the ending, which resolved almost nothing - this is one of those books that apparently must be consumed as part of an entire series.
