However, at least in my opinion, this series gets so much better when you enter the next book. Many of the plot wholes that might have made you scratch your head in confusion are cleared up and you get to meet new characters, go on fun adventures, get introduced to new universes, and learn more about the main characters interesting past. If you read just this book, then it won't make sense, but if you read the others you will see how it fits in as part of a whole.
Hope I helped! :)(less)
