Why does everyone have the motivations of an angsty 15 year old? The romance is so one dimensional. My problem with these books is essentially that they have an excellent premise, and in the hands of a better writer might be more compelling as fantasy and/ or drama. I liked the end though, doing a grand gesture was good. It was really hitting the 11th hour there.

There was nothing particularly horrible that stood out to me but it was just all around meh.
Every aspect was meh.
There is a constant stream of minor issues. Nothing in the plot fits together quite right.
For some reason, the little smut at the end hit me as really awkward and the romance, in general, just felt forced.
The book tells us a lot but the little showing that actually happens generally contradicts what it is telling us.
The major plot kept me reading but you really have to squint both eyes tightly to overlook the myriad of small issues everywhere.… (more)

Great intuitive writing talent but incredibly lazy plotting and world-building.
