The Trylle books are all very quick and easy reads. However, I liked the second book of the trilogy a lot less than the first one. My biggest issue was that Wendy is suffering from Bella Swan Syndrome. She's her own kind of super special (more so than the other Trylle) and she's caught in the midst of a love triangle (between the guy who's trying to do the right thing and distance himself and the guy who is the sworn enemy of the first and likes to tease and flirt and say inappropriate things to her (sound familiar?)). It's all sort of ridiculous.

And perhaps my biggest peeve is that Wendy is deliberately stupid in this book. She recaps things that literally took place the page before and sums it all up again. Yeah, hi? I was paying attention when I read it the first time less than a minute ago. Also it's like she can't follow the simplest conversation without someone spelling it out for her. For instance, when they're discussing Elora's age. Wendy guesses low to be nice and Elora calls her a bad liar and then says "I'm only thirty-nine." "Thirty-nine, what?" Really? You couldn't follow that? Also, (view spoiler)[she can't seem to figure out what's going on between Matt and Willa even though they're clearly flirting it up all over the place. (hide spoiler)] She's also the worst princess in the world. She's incredibly selfish when it's sort of common knowledge that when you're royalty your life isn't really your own. It's expected that you'll marry for the good of the people or that you'll have to do things for the sake of those you govern even if you don't particularly want to. Get over it. (view spoiler)[ So she really shouldn't have been surprised by the arranged marriage to Tove, which I saw as soon as the Kroners were introduced back in the first book. And is the idea that she might have to kill her father really all that horrible considering she spent five minutes in his company and hated him instantly. He's your father in name, he didn't raise you, you have no other ties to that man what's the big issue? (hide spoiler)]

So overall, even though there's only one other book, I don't know if I'm going to bother with it. I could have enjoyed this book simply for the plot, but the characters all ruined it for me. Except for Tove. He's awesome. And maybe Willa. I'd read a book where those two were the main characters.
