A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer

Hey Siri, how do you spell disappointment?
A Curse So Dark and Lonely is my favorite book I've read so far this year. So I'm genuinely shocked at how much of a letdown its sequel was. Rhen and Harper are no longer the main characters (maybe not even the heroes anymore), and instead we get POVs for Grey and Lia Mara, the daughter of Karis Luran. This is a formula that works in romance series' (each book about a new couple, relegating previous couples to cameos and off-page plots) but I don't think it worked here. Both Rhen and Harper acted entirely out of character and I could never really bring myself to care about Lia Mara and the other new characters. The plot was less interesting and just...disappointing.
