Too much repetition in the dialog, and comic book like fantasy. It got better as it went along so I read number two and three.
A less well written "Twilight-type" fantasy series, mostly harmless for the young adult reader. I wouldn't be thrilled if my son read books like this exclusively, though I've read the first three books pretty quickly so there must be something to them. Hence the three stars. If it weren't so cold I'd call them good "beach books". Fluff with a lot of action and likable characters. The writing is just not demanding or enlightening in the quality of descriptions or the smoothness of the plots. I've read a lot of fantasy and some of them feel real. These plot turns and histories are awkward and artificial. Kind of like a comic book without pictures.
In sum. Easy to read, harmless, and mildly entertaining.
A much better series for young adult and adult fantasy is the Bartameus Trilogy. Deep Character traits that grow with each book. Buy The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1)!
