1st Book of the Year

A Dream of Mortals by Morgan Rice. *SPOILERS* I am so close to finishing this horrid series. It is most definitely a hate read/listen. But things are still so up in the air that I'm not sure how it's all going to be fixed in the final two books because everyone is still in danger. Gwen and co. made it to the new ring, which is called the Ridge. But, it and its king, are dying. Also, the ruling family of the ridge just so happen to be McGills, that's right they are long lost relatives. Thor was attacked by pirates, but with the help of his new daughter they won and now have a nice ship. They found Eric and helped them defeat the Empire ships that had them surrounded with the power of family. *eye roll* Then the baby dragon showed up again and led Thor away from Eric and the Empire and back to the land with his uncle and son. But, uncle was using is seeing stalagmites and saw that the island would be covered in black, Gwain would be taken, and he (uncle) would die. So he goes to the spot of the island and watches as the demon hoard flies toward him. Meanwhile, Godfrey and co. get out of jail and get revenge on the guy who betrayed them. They then make friends with that guys cousin who hated him and they form an alliance. Lastly, Darius and his friends that survived are sent to fight in the arena, gladiator style. Darius is the only one of his friends that survives. But, at the end he got help from somewhere, probably Godfrey and his new allies. This series should be good, but it's like every bad thing that can happen is happening and has been happening for 15 straight books. Also, the author is very repetitive with the phrases they use which is annoying. When I am done with this series I will not read any more works by this author.
