Imbalance

I wanted to love this book like I loved the first one, I really did, but I don't. When I read the first book, I was so excited to find something that caught my attention so quickly, I read it in one day! This second book though, has been sitting in my library for over a month at the 52% read marker. I finally opened the book again and decided to read the last 3 chapters to see if it was worth finishing the whole thing, and for me, it wasn't.
The book started out well, I was eager to read more of Ama and her story. But as the story went on, I found myself liking it less and less. There was a lot of back and forth with her harem, which at the end of the first book seemed to be behind them. I wasn't expecting half (actually most of it from what I read of the last 3 chapters) of this book to be about coming to terms about the bonds, but it was. I also wasn't expecting her harem to grow, I liked the ones we meet in book 1 and felt that the 2 additions didn't seem necessary. The fact that the devil was one of
them, made me lose all interest in the story.
I've read the description for the last book, and I feel like its been done so much in books recently. The fmc has fought so hard to prove her worth, her strength, and that she's able to over come past trauma and/or abuse/bullying, but yet gets kidnapped and is essentially out of the fight. I don't really care to find out how much of the next book is Ama trying to get the devil to understand her side of things and for her to get back to save the kingdom. I feel that, if she gets her way with the devil, then it's going to be anticlimactic and a huge let down of them all coming together to defend the kingdom. And if that doesn't happen, I can't say I'm intrigued enough to find out otherwise.
