emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

There's arophobia and acephobia throughout the entire series.  Not only that, there's a lot of assuming genders (yes, I know a lot of books do this but it still ticks me off), and gender roles (even though a couple of them were switched around in the first book)(and all the MCs have a love interest).

I'll admit, I sped through this book in a day and sucked in, but I'm disappointed/let down.
