I gave up on book 7

Enjoyed the first 5, by book 6 the predictability of Cook just acting like an idiot and waiting for something magical to come save him as he gets his ass handed to him for the nth time just got old, the repeating of the same explanations like it's the first book got old, and how every character evolved but him just got to be too much. Entire chapters were dedicated (or more) to him getting his ass kicked by something mundane as a shower, sure it would be a funny quick story, but it went on and on, and then we had a second session of that same old same old in the next book.

I wanted a book where the main character didn't take crap, was competent, and rose to the challenge, instead I got one where at every turn he gives up and then something magically happens to bring him back to the fight. Time after time he lays there and says, well, this is going to kill me and doesn't even bother trying to fight until something magically saves him at the last, it's a recurring theme and gets old.

Last straw was when we keep harping about him not being able to die as the gates of hell will open when the last vamp walks the earth...and they keep going on about that...but there's two others.....(huh?)...and then the main baddie gets thrown in a room with a child and tells him to remove his armour and let the sun turn him to dust, damning and endangering every soul that has ever lived, or the baddie will kill the kid. Based on the you can't die or the gates of hell will open, what does he do? Of course, he gives up and takes off his helmet, I just can't anymore .

Too bad, the other characters were getting interesting, narration is very good, but I'm done.
