3.0

It was really rough to get into.  The story started getting good over halfway through the book, which was too long.

I had the hardest time with the writing style.  Almost everything was written in short abrupt sentences, almost like bursts of individual trains of thought.  I had to constantly go back and reread everything to try and understand the story.

Biggest issue is I had zero emotional connection with the MC.  Even the romance felt forced and awkward.  

Tell me the series gets better! 😫
