Infuriating saga. I regret starting it.
The characters' actions don't match their initial descriptions.
The protagonist Arianna was supposed to be good at planning, calculating, good at assessing her own and her enemies' strength. But we only see her take impulsive, stupid decisions with no planning whatsoever. The same goes for most of the other main characters. Only a villain seems to have the slightest notion of planning. All logic discarded for the author to have her drama.
Gratuitous violence that doesn't really bring much to the story, only plays on the reader's anger.
