Pros: Good plot
Cons: The ending doesn't work

About a year passed between my reading of book one to this publication.

My preference in a series is for each book to add to the story, not for each book to be a "to be continued".

It isn't that I want a series to end, just to have a sense of completion to each "chapter".
