Query: Disappointing.

Where were was all my favorite characters? The series seems to be declining as I read each new book in the series. I had to work to finish this book and the only reason I didn't put it aside was because I am to stubborn to stop reading something I started. He spent a number of pages introducing new characters for us readers to relate to and then went nowhere with it. I felt like I wasted time trying to get to know these people. I'm giving the series a break and moving on to something better. The series has dried up for me.
