My reading experience was a bit paradoxical- there was nothing particularly special about the story, but that also made it easier for my to almost passively read the book as I didn't have to focus too hard. None of the characters had much depth to me, but they grew on me as time went on. Certain aspects of the plot was pretty predictable, but there were surprisingly also a couple of twists that surprised me. For now I've tentatively decided on continuing the series, but given that we there is virtually no information of the third and final book(no cover, no title, no release date) only time will tell how long I will be able to sustain a level of commitment to the series as a whole.
