Entertaining but unsatisfying

While I enjoyed reading this novel, by the end I felt it very unsatisfying. The hero of the book never faces a challenge they couldn't easily overcome, and frequently had successful ideas that unrealistically no one had come up with before. All this while freshly turned 18. The ending was sudden, without any real build up or resolution. If this was a standalone novel, it would have received a one star rating, but I gave it three in the hopes that this was entirely a “setting up the situation” book and subsequent ones have actual drama, difficult challenges, and maybe even some conflict. If book 2 isn't a vast improvement, there's no point in continuing.
