Comments:  I've been enjoying this series as a whole.  Connor (who does not look like the cover for the simple fact of his hair, btw), is trying to make his way in a life nothing like he had originally planned for himself.  But he is finding that he actually likes himself better this way.  He's looking for justice instead of power.  Of course, that means he is becoming more deeply involved in the building chaos and trouble that is becoming more and more obvious in the area.   I always have trouble giving my thoughts when I read books from a series with the same primary character in row, and this is no different.

So here are some brief and choppy thoughts.  And even though these are supposed to be about the individual books, some of the points actually apply to more than one.

Unquiet Dreams - We meet Connor's brother.  We have some evil, "I'm taking over the world bwah-ha-ha!" action (not in so many words, but still).  And of course that means lots of politics.

Unfallen Dead - Everything is falling to pieces, and many are blaming Connor.  (But is he really to blame?) Connor's memory seems to be missing on all the bigs events.  (Kind of weird because the reader still sees them and knows how it all went down.)

Unperfect Souls - Now violence, anger, tension, and turmoil is everywhere.  Connor has some internal problems threatening to take over.  Bad timing, that, because he has become something of a nexus for everything going on.  Some big secrets uncovered in this one, too.

Anyway, I've requested the library get the ebooks for the next two books in the series (as I maybe don't have them?).  Hopefully I'll be getting t them soon.
