adventurous emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I wanted to DNF this series. This audiobook was 16 hours long and I didn't think I was going to make it to the end. This is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books I've felt this on. Simply put, I didn't enjoy the series. I finished it to say I finished it, giving it a chance. The spice and HEA were a saving grace for me. I'm a sucker for smut and a HEA, but it was a rough road to get there.
