This wasn't bad to me it was just sooooo basic. From the characters to the plot, it was bland and predictable. No surprises in the plot, I knew how it was going to play out from the very beginning. I hate to say it but the characters bored me, Rory the empathetic, caring serial killer and the "bad boy, shadow daddy" Umbra King that wasn't actually bad at all from the beginning. His whole freaking prison kingdom was a nice place to be that his "prisoners" actually liked more than the kingdom they're free in? Like WHAT?! It was giving kids timeout when they have a TV and game systems and iPads with a mini fridge in their room. Like oh noooos. Again, it wasn't BAD, the world was interesting and I enjoyed that. I just needed something more to make me have any interest in seeing where the story goes from here.
