The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
3.0

I hesitate to give this 3 stars because Megan Whalen Turner is a good writer, but I honestly just enjoyed it less than the first one.

I think the world is amazing and the mythology is so cool, but I personally am a character-driven reader and the characters just weren't really doing it for me. After reading two books, I don't feel like I've gotten to know the characters that much more, if at all, and the romance doesn't really make sense to me, so it's kind of unappealing. Despite my love for enemies-to-lovers, I don't think the relationship itself or the characters had enough time to grow (from the reader's POV) and so it wasn't working for me.

I am planning to continue with the series but not right away.

I do seriously recommend this series to people who like court politics and warring countries and who don't want a romance at the center of the story.
