Empire of Storms

I am really torn about how I feel about this book. I really want to love this series because I feel like it has potential, however, it continues to fall flat for me. I think my biggest gripe is the character development. At the beginning of the series I felt that all the characters were very unique and distinct, however, as the series moves on I feel like the characters are all becoming the same?? Like they all are too witty, too perfect and too angsty. I wish they had more flaws and depth that made them feel more real, I think then I would connect with this series more.
