Books like Dark Fire

I'm not sure if I want to finish it or not. After the third book of this series, the plot sort of... fell. I was really upset after David, the main character, died, (hey, I'm not going to add spoilers because if you're reading this review you should have read the other books yourself first before reading this so it's your fault you're shocked. XP) but now he's back and it turns out that David wasn't even human- just a creation made by the fairies... freakish goblins or whatever they were and now, suddenly, his personality and whole well... David-ness has completely shattered. He's too wise and emotionless now, and I had really fallen in love with the sweet, innocent young David. This made me really unhappy. Yes, I had wanted David to come back, but this was too much! Good God, if you're thinking of doing something so drastic, keep him dead! I would have been unhappy, but not angry. Another thing that made me quit reading the series was that there was too much complicated crap stuffed the pages. Nice science fiction; I understand that the reader was trying to make it sound a little realistic, but sometimes the description of this magic crap went on for pages. I eventually started skipping chapters, just wanting to get back to the actual plot. Nevertheless, it was some nice writing, and I find myself picking up one of the first three books every now and then just to read a bit.
