As it turns out, I was unable to write about each book/section of Ms Cooper's series because it would have said the same thing over and over again. Yes, there are times when the story gets interesting and exciting; but for the most part the book is predictable and, for lack of a better word, retarded. What an Old One really is doesn't make much sense, and how the main character goes from sucking at being an Old One to having all the answers also makes no sense. Bran turning into Arthur's son isn't clearly developed. Why Will stays behind makes no sense. Why everyone has to forget what happened is dumb, as is the fact that "normal" kids would even have been needed in the first place. The bad guys never really do anything but chase the good guys, which leads readers to boredom. The ending is completely unsatisfying.
I have read many books that I have disliked, but this series is by far one of the worst. The writing was poor, the story line had far too many holes, the characters were unimpressive, there was no brilliance anywhere. I hope to be able to sell this book and at least walk away with something from it, as opposed to the blah it has left me with as of right now.
