I used to love this series so much at the beginning but as it progressed it became a little worse. The characters are adorable but the plot is weak and stretched.Romance has became the main element which in my opinion is unnecessary as it is a fantasy fiction book. Most of the original plot elements are no longer important.The author gets a little carried away with dialogue and there is very little important events happening that contribute to the overall plot. The world building is fantastic but the villains make no appearance except in two scenes which is very less for the penulitimate book. Overall I will recommend for 11 and less age group. It's a fun read but not the very best in terms of storyline and pacing.
