Query: Good if you like magical combat

I have read all of the Anita Blake series and Death of a Darklord and I was very disappointed in this novel.Laurell K Hamilton is usually much better at developing characters and producing interesting plots than this. Most of the characters seemed to have been used as plot devices to link the different battles.There were too many loose ends in this book which makes me wonder if it is the middle of a series.
