Characterization and review of "Battle of Ampere"

So overall the plot and story of The Micheal Very series i think is alright but in the third book it starts to lose that and gets anti-climatic and lots of other things. This third book "Battle of Ampere" is not the ending of the series. There is at least one more book left, but i presume they will ring this series dry of all its worth as many series do. For example "The Hunger Games" was carried till it had nothing left which took you to a civil war plot instead of "hunger games", needless characters, Katniss getting addicted to morphine and constantly hiding in a stupid closet crying the whole dang time. I could keep going but ill just say plainly it was the worst ending of a series i have ever read, saw, or even played. I literally threw the book out when i was done. I just hope to avoid an ending like that for this series. The series isn't quite as good though so i won't be as angry if the ending isn't great. The characters are abundant in Micheal Vey series, as there are seventeen electric children (some good,some bad). The Author Richard Paul Evans tries to make each one unique and personal and understandable but he doesn't quite get there. One character dies in the book and everyone in the "Electroclan" is in complete shock and misery. At that moment my thoughts were  "meh, didn't give a crap about him anyway. He was only cannon fodder from the beginning.". After this there was about ten pages on them just moping the whole time and some characters moped the whole rest of the book. Who cared about him! You literally had no emotions or  strong connections to him in either of the two books before or at least that i could remember. The story line is quite cool in theory, but this book is very anti-climatic. It's not very deep in emotions or characters, i could sum up the main character Micheal Vey as the literal exact same as Shia Labeouf's  character Sam from Transformers. Like they are the exact same! Who is a nobody, has lady problems, and is weak as a twig but is somehow super-duper special by some miraculous crap and gets a ridiculously hot girl and saves the world. What? Yeah i mean the idea is great and like i said the story line isn't that bad. But has a great loss of depth in both characters and plot, you can predict everything that happened in this book from the first couple chapters. Overall this book was very disappointing.
