I think this author just isn't for me. Her books always seem to read like self help books on a fantasy wireframe. While I enjoyed some of the conversations, most were a bit overdone and could have used a bit more subtleness so that they better fit with the narrative of the story. She focuses a lot on directly telling the reader why we should do things a certain way rather than just showing how awesome the world could be and letting the reader reach those conclusions themselves.
