Descendant of the Crane by Joan He

Uuuuuggggghhhhhhhhh.
This was probably one of the most boring books I've read in my entire life. I was expecting magic! and intrigue! and action! but only got Princess Hesina moping around the palace (with a little bit of stabbing mixed in). It nearly put me to sleep several times and I'm actually very shocked I finished it! The plot was a chore to keep track of and was mostly betrayal after betrayal without making sense. None of the characters really had any personality, and the romance was bland. How did this get published?!
