This has been very, very entertaining.
Over the course of three books the development has been sparse, the backstory's detail insufficient and the showdowns anti-climatic. Even now, with only an year passed from the first book to the last, very little has happened as far as the story goes. I can imagine the trilogy being one 800 page long book with all the fighting condensed and this makes more sense to me.
The visual appeal of these books is off the charts. The idea of fighting side by side with and against inter-dimensional beasts with magical Doctor Strange powers is enough to get you tingling all over with excitement and imagination overload. Which is why the lack of everything but fighting is easily ignored.
The final battle was underwhelming and nothing that hadn't happened before which undermined the whole "Super Epic Final Battle" thing. The romance is so laaaaaaame. There is no spark between the two and even though I dig this part usually, the characters in these books, the hunters especially, live by such a shitty schedule of eat-sleep-fight-eat-fight-fight-fight-repeat that I don't blame anyone for it not working.
