![]() The villains were brutally vicious and hard to conquer, but I knew they were be bested in the end so there's just wasn't enough tension to raise the rating. Promise is still kind of lackluster, but Robin is - as always - a fun character bomb that was tossed into the group. ![]() Niko still hasn't grown on me as he's too perfect and paper pure, but he's okay as a background and their brotherly bond is still fitting. ![]() He's a unique character and I like his sassy attitude, gritty outlook, normal hormones, and sense of loyalty. ![]() With this series, there's little mystery - most of what is unknown is discovered almost right away, leaving little pause and wonder (no surprise) - so it's basically connect the dots from one action point to the next.Ĭal isn't as emo as before, but he's still realistically conflicted, which is fine. I think the main issue is that most Urban Fantasies dip their genre toe deeply into the mystery pool, stimulating the thinking part of the brain as much as the action part. Sure, there's a cool plot about a restored and ancient serial killer that's tough to beat, but just like the others in this series so far - nothing feels frantic or particularly suspenseful about it. Other than the last few paragraphs that came out of nowhere and knocked me on the side of the head, the book was rather sedate. ![]()
