Believe it or not, Harry Potter didn't invent "the chosen one" cliche. It didn't invent characters being born to inferior families. Harry Potter was far from the first series about secret magical beings. There are some similarities, but you can find similarities between any two things. Obviously The Hunger Games ripped off The Giver because they both involve the main characters escaping their oppressive societies.

I kind of stopped really enjoying the series after Neverseen. To me, that was when the story came to a halt. At the end of Everblaze/beginning of Neverseen, Sophie joins the Black Swan, is supposed to have started to get over her anxiety. They know who the gang of rebels are, they know that Brant kidnapped Sophie, and in general a lot of progress is made up until this point. After that, their only "victories" have been cleaning up the messes the Neverseen have recently made without actually putting an end to anything. It's just been a slow go since.
