What an absolute disappointment. Way too rushed. In fact it seems worse than the normal rushed endings, it just seems like the author gave up on the series and decided to wrap things up as quickly as possible. Which is made even worse because of how slow progression was in book 1
(Spoilers Below)
We have no clue what the motivations of big bad were, we meet him and in a single scene he is defeated by our completely untrained magician.
There is basically no character progression. Hero learns that everyone has been lying to him and his parents have died? He is angry for a few pages and then no reaction after. And he just helps his liars with no explanation needed?
And the romance, lol no progression here either. Teenage infatuation in first book, and then we just have them get together in the epilogue.
Just don't bother starting the series, or if you have reached this far don't bother finishing it, the author surely hasn't bothered to.
