Right there with you on the Brothers, Korwin. Far too often reviews whine about how main characters have it too easy, with no strife or challenge, ect ect. Yet those types of books are few and far between when compared to the main characters that are supposed to be some kind of uber powered godly being that basically spends the entire book/series as an abused punching bag, that whines about how bad their life is, how horrible they are, ect ect.
Another good series I've been going through is Kylie Chan's Dark Heavens series. Chinese mythology meets modern day. Really good. First book is White Tiger, Dark Heavens 1
