Subtlety is a foreign concept to this author.
I am usually a sucker for (teenage) angst if it is done well but here the angsty romance is as delicate as a brick to the face.

This book is filled with tired and bad YA clichées but there wasn't any particularly bad section that stood out.

The MC in particular was kind of annoying but I am hesitant to blame the author because teenagers really can be that contradictory and volatile.

The only action is at the very end and serves as the climax. Sadly, even though the book was already mediocre at best up to this point, the action scenes are by far the biggest weakness of the book.
It's a collection of lame and cheesy clichées and all the classic bad action tropes.

The one thing that is surprisingly well done (at least as far as I can judge from a single Despite being a motley collection of all the fantasy and urban fantasy tropes out there it all worked surprisingly well together.
The world didn't feel confused or inconsistent but judging from the rest of the writing this might look very different if I had read the sequels.
I won't continue the series so I can't really judge that.
There just isn't anything here that captured my interest. ( )
