Okay, the first book I loved the characters and romance enough to carry the fact that there was no plot, but after 2 books it's starting to drag a bit. The characters are still great and I love that we're getting to know more side characters, but there's nothing really happening! It's all just fluff, which is only enjoyable for so long. There are hints of some sort of conflict coming surrounding Cricket's power levels and Mabon, but after two fairly long books we should be further in than just hints of a conflict.
It's still a super cute, easy comfort read, so I can't see myself giving up on the series, but I seriously hope things pick up a bit in the next book. I know this review probably seems really negative for the star rating, but I just can't bring myself to rate it lower because it is still so nice to read. Maybe I just need to stop waiting for the pace to pick up and embrace it for what it is 😅
