Just boring. Always the same story, the same suspense. Repetition of the same concept every other page like if the reader had not fully understood yet. Yes, we've got it ! It's a purification business, no need to repeat it... I am at book 5, I hope the rest of the series is not the same story or I'll stop before the end !
