Maybe 3.5 stars.

The title and the cover are awful (that's one reason I love Kindles!), but the book itself was pretty fun. The magic system was interesting, and I thought the Pairing system lent itself to a potentially very interesting society.

However, I'm disappointed that our heroine ended up falling for the hero after all (because of course she would!) and that she was so dense throughout the book. To be fair, she was raised in a very sheltered and secluded way, but that only seems to matter

3 1/2 stars - I do want to read the next one badly enough that I considered giving this 4 stars even though I usually rate 3 1/2 star books as 3 on here since that's just supposed to be "liked it."

Resenting the Hero is a delightful book with main characters easy to root for and empathize with, a fun plot and a world history that leads to some very intriguing social dynamics.
