I’ve read/listened to all of these books in this series at various times/places over the past few years, mainly when I’ve needed something distracting. I haven’t bothered to rate them before and after listening to this last one I decided to tick them all off. It was then that I discovered that I could not recall a single one of the plot lines or distinguish between any one of the titles. And therein lies the problem with this series. Apart from the first one, they are ALL THE SAME! Each book seems to introduce yet more bewildering and instantly forgettable names of light/dark mages both goodies and baddies, battles, boring bits, battles, boring bits and on and on. Alex, Luna, Varium and Ann were great characters initially but they have never developed over the nine books.
