Sometimes over expectation can ruin a book just as easily as a film, however, In order to make it more believable.
Would you make a lord of a boy that saved your daughter's life? if you were a Duke.
I know I would. So it is more believable to me.

Ah, you will find out why they are not called aliens later. As for the main plot, persevere and you will find out why it seems weak. A lot of questions in the first book do not reveal themselves onto the second and third books.

The characters distinguish themselves later, as for childish dialogue, There were some parts i admit to skipping...but that was on my second read a year ago
