Frustrating that there has been no character growth or maturity for ardenis. He still can't control his emotions like a toddler, he still can't hold himself together around Hector. It's off putting and I won't be completing the series because of it. 

I actually got to the point of enjoying faelyns story and not reading about ardenis, i speed read his parts to get back to her. I think, although an interesting concept, having ardenis as a watcher just doesn't work if the main focus is about faelyn and thera. If he would have developed with the story this might be a different matter, but it's so jarring that he is still so emotionally unintelligent and immature. 

Its a real shame because Faelyns story is 5 star worthy, but the Ardenis story line isn't. I really don't understand why he wasn't given any arc or development.
