I finished the series. I take it all back. I appreciate the lack of romance because it emphasized so much more than that - and it earned the missing star.
Sooo this book was really hyped up and I feel like I had super high expectations going into it, and don’t get me wrong, it was a good book, very well written- I enjoyed reading it - but it wasn’t like “oh my god, one of the best books I have ever read”.
