Seldom did I read a more boring book than this one. I was having a hard time to get through it, lost the thread more than once and asked myself why I keep on reading it.

Every series has at least one book that is chewy and takes some time to get through. With most of the series I read it was #4 of #5. With this series it was #2 already.
