  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

I enjoy the author's use of descriptive language as world-building, and she does a good job of continually raising the stakes.  I did have trouble suspending my disbelief when characters seemed to fall in love without a clear buildup of feelings or connection.  Especially Jax.  I started reading this series after reading Once Upon a Broken Heart (which is fantastic, BTW) to learn how Jax's Heart backstory.  Now that I know it, it's disappointing and seems more meaningless than so much of what happens in Once Upon a Broken Heart.  Maybe the third book pulls it all together.  We'll see.
