The second book of the Dragon Riders of Elantia was a let-down. It ends with a "to be continued" at an arbitrary point. As a book it is a failure. There is no comprehensive sense of unit to the content, nor any rising tension and relief, to say anything of resolution. "The characters did some things," is about the best that can be said of it.

And while we're talking about the characters, they're all quite dumb, especially our heroine. She revels in her snarkiness but crumples before any actual authority. She bites her tongue and seeths or else boldly runs into action without a moment consideration. The number of times she's rescued by pure chance strains suspension of disbelief. Also, her relationships are shallow things without any real sense behind them.

I have the 3rd one because it was on sale from Audible, but I'm not sure I'll get around to it anytime soon. ( )
