The Rise of Magicks

Man, its hard to write this review after getting through the first 2 books.

I thought the first book was brilliant! Great story line, well written, good plot! Second book, I kinda felt like I needed to get through to get to the finale in the 3rd book but when it came to the third book, none of the problems I had with the second book got corrected.

The tone through-out the book read almost like a YA or novel. I'd argue that it read even younger even though the book was catered towards a more mature audience. The characters were a little flat, the romance was cheesy, the buildups had really mediocre resolutions and just didn't capture my attention like other books do. In all it was just boring.

I rather liked the first two books in this series – especially the first one. This one, however, just doesn't work for me. That grand epic feeling of the first book is gone as is the feeling of anticipation generated by the second book. In this one, Fallon has become ... rather boring actually.
YMMV. Lots of folks like this story.
