Now, this review should go for all the books in the series (up to bk 4 which is the latest that has come out); 
 Now, I would like to start out by saying that once I start a book or series I don't quit. Usually because I keep thinking there is a chance for it to get better, etc. 
 Now, for the actual review: 
 The book was extremely boring, I mean royally boring. There was nothing to find out, no suspense, nothing. The magic/fantasy things were over-exaggerated and the main character was impossible to like. She was petulant and bland. On top of all that the cover is a mess (not that it should affect my review :P) AND the series is over-hyped like Harry Potter, although Harry Potter wasn't bad like this series. And then to put the cherry on top the book was badly written with an unclear plot which has many holes. 
 By the way, no examples were added in order to not spoil the book if you still want to read it.
