Two and a half stars

The premise of this series is interesting. The characterizations are good. The plotting has been fine. But, the storytelling is not so good. Too much repetitive, long conversations and descriptions. It is especially irritating making no sense in scenes where the hero POV is fighting the monster and he has a long description of how the monster is killing someone and then he starts or renews his attempt to kill it! I wasn't impressed with the first book, but because I had purchased a special priced three book set, I figured I might as well give the second one a chance. I'll not be wasting my time on the third book.
