I shouldn’t have read these after reading the author’s current series because she’s gotten so much better at writing. The pacing was a bit off for me. Things felt, at once, too fast (three months passed in a footnote?) and too slow (it took me nearly a week to read). The characters never really came off the page for me, but felt more like their given tropes. I may skip the rest of this series and just read the next book in her current one!
