The Late Great Wizard

I wish I had quit this book halfway through when I wasn't feeling it. Instead, I persevered, and now I feel like I wasted a week reading something I didn't like. The concept of a Phoenix Wizard is interesting, but this story is not really about him, and he ends up being a forgettable character for someone that the book is named after. I really didn't find the main character, Tessa, all that interesting. The book was a combination of light urban fantasy and teen girl romance, and she didn't stand out as a character in either sense. She also displays some hacking and martial arts skills in the last 1/3rd of the book that were never even hinted at before. Very deus ex machina, and very annoying. Also, it feels horribly unfinished, like nothing at all was resolved. I finished, but I won't read the next book.
