I really want to love this series because  a lot of people are enjoying it and because my husband purchased the hardcover boxed set as a gift but I just cannot get into it. I thought it would be more plot or fantasy-world driven but it seems more focused on romance and relationships. The problem is that the character development is kind of weak too. Also, it is heavily advertised as a spicy or smutty book. People are calling this "New Adult" but it feels like YA but with more sex in it. I have outgrown YA books. They're just not for me so I think that is another reason why this series has been off-putting. It is taking me a long time to push through each book and I really just want to hurry up and finish so I can read a different book. I know I could just put it down but I feel like I HAVE to finish it.
