Query: Kinda Pointless

Although I really liked the fist two books in the Mage Wars trilogy, this was quite disappointing. This story is not at all about the main characters you have come to expect from the first two books, but their troublesome offspring. It is a protracted romp through the woods, with the two main characters being hunted by some unknown force, which of course ends happily and victoriously. No political intrigue as in the first books, but mostly an "action" read. Lots of accidents, running, fighting and arguing. You do not need a whole lot of brain power to get the story, but a healthy imagination would help, since the whole thing is boring, cliché and predictable. The characters are flat and uninteresting, eliciting no emotional investment or response from the reader, and the whole book in general, felt like a badly written fan-fiction.
