Siege and Storm

If it's one thing I really dislike about young adult fiction it's when the main character constantly manages to make the wrong decision or puts off making one due to a guy/several guys. This book had a little bit of that energy, and I didn't like it. At one point it felt like it was becoming a “special and unique girl has the attention of every male in the story” moment, but luckily it didn't get as bad as I anticipated. The first half was action packed and fast paced like the first book, but the second half had to much diplomacy focused chapters and also a lot of unnecessary pining and worrying.
