I received a free copy of the ebook Unchained to review.
After reading book 2.5 of the Scion series I was tentatively hopeful that perhaps the storyline of this series would go in a different direction instead of focusing on captain Whiny McWhinerpants (aka Alaric). Well, unfortunately, book three returns to the main storyline and the whiny main character is back in his full petulant "glory." Okay, so there has been a little character growth (finally!) but I still can't help but see Alaric as the petulant child he was in the first two books. I wish they had stayed with the side story and kept telling things from the perspective of the villain, it's so much more interesting that way (though still not interesting). As with the previous books, I struggled to continue reading because the book is boring and I just couldn't get into the story. Still, I don't care at all about the characters and what happens to them. I was just waiting and hoping for it to end. The ending was also quite a disappointment.
