One of my biggest problems was the terrible writing, but also the treatment of female characters. The main character is a classic Mary Sue who has all the men at her feet despite being average at best. She immediately clashes with the other female character who also has red hair for no real reason. One of her 'friends' leaves the institute during their training and she is really upset about it, despite having never been seen speaking to her before. In short, I was ready to give up on this book.
But sometime happened just after halfway through.
Overall, this book definitely needs some work, but having realised it is the authors first published novel, I can understand where the writing may fall down. I will be giving the next book a go, but only because my boyfriend already bought it for me. Otherwise, perhaps I would be giving this lengthy series a miss.

I love The Nothing Girl and enjoy Jodi Taylor's writing in general. This felt really long to me and not always engaging. I can see myself picking up another book in the series, but I'm not in any rush to do so, nor do I feel the need to go in order. I might see which ones are most beloved and keep those in mind for if/when I'd ever like to spend some more time in this world.
