Query: unfinished - but NOT a symphony

I really enjoyed the first book, Freehold, but this book was so slow, dreary and stultifying that I simply could not waste any more time reading it. The protagonist is an egotistical young man who believes that he must bow to no law or authority. The story begins when he enlists in the "army" and goes slow step by step through just about every day of his various training roles. I was halfway through the book and still not much had happened, other than endless mind numbing details of training. Chinron's compatriots appear and soon fall by the wayside and I had great difficulty caring. The characters were stilted and uninspiring and had no depth to make the reader feel anything but indifference to their fate. If you have lots and lots of free time to plow through page after boring page, then good luck to you. But, not me. This book now goes into the give-away bin.
