Disappointing

I wanted to like these books. I really did.

The problem was, I got about a quarter of the way into the first book and I was already bored. I made it to about the fifth book before I finally gave up.

What makes these books so bad, you ask? Well, I basically agree with everyone who dislikes these books: the characters are boring and underdeveloped, the story was way too focused on romance, and the writing alone was enough to make me lose interest in the plot.

So in conclusion, it's probably safe to say that these books are not for everyone. I came into this series expecting epic, kick-ass fantasy novels, but what I got was an angsty teenage love triangle that sounded like it was written by a thirteen-year-old emo girl. So thank you for your time and have a nice day.
