I adored the concept of the book,involving mythical creatures and putting it into a somewhat "new" context, but what made me want to stop reading it was the main character, notice I said main character here, not main characters. I find it frustrating that throughout all of the books the girl, Kendra is gifted with powers, adored by not only other people, but also favored by the family. As for the other said main character, Seth, her younger brother, he gets the butt of everything, he works for it and in the end gets a slap in the face ,not getting encouraged or thanked for helping, rather get insulted and criticized for it,completely opposite of how other minor characters treat his sister.Yes,Seth may seem annoying, downright idiotic at times, but that proved he was human, that he has flaws, for along with his bravery, he is fairly annoying, idiotic, while his sister, she is pin-pointed as "perfection" from the very beginning, or at least from the start of the second book to the end of the whole thing. This story had potential, but I couldn't stand the main protagonist long enough to finish it. The worst part is, nobody seems to see that, only that the younger brother is stupid, isn't "special" as his sister and annoying.The very least though, at least the boy has character development throughout while his sister doesn't seem to develop at all, rather the opposite and constantly treated like the princess,which was the reason that made me stop reading. Again, great concept,but the way the characters are represented, in this case mainly Kendra and Seth, it's just pathetic. To say people believe that the girl is a true role-model while her brother is just foolish is downright wrong, if I do say so myself. Humans are far from perfect so unless you don't mind that concept being neglected upon the main protagonist there, than by all means you will probably enjoy the story. Sadly, for me, I couldn't ignore it and thus were unable to finish the story thinking it was that amazing or worth my time.
