It's just okay.

The author has a serious issue with repeating the same phrases, and even situations, quite a bit. When you compare all the books to each other, you realize there's a pretty specific formula to each. There's a serious lack of action, and we only later hear about some of the more interesting things, and descriptions of many parts of the story are also lacking. I'm not even going to get into the ick factor controversy, mainly because it was completely predictable.

I wanted so much more from this series unfortunately. I felt like I wanted to love the characters, and I found the world incredibly interesting. However, so much fell flat or wasn't given enough attention that I ultimately can't say I care. Also, Shaun is awful. George is a much more interesting character, especially when Shaun isn't part of the equation. Codependency isn't cute.
