I had heard so many great reviews and had so many people tell me how good this book was that I decided to pick it up and start reading it. And when I did it was... boring. The first book was okay, I enjoyed it, but even though the second one was sitting right there, I didn't really want to pick it up and start it. When I did read the other three it got progressively harder to keep going. It seemed like an interesting series, it just wasn't exciting and I was glad when I was finished it. Honestly, this series was almost a put down- and it probably would have been if I had had other books to read at the time.
