The Affiliate by K.A. Linde

Decent world-building, but not very enjoyable relationships. Perhaps I was expecting a YA fantasy romance, but it's just fantasy so far, with a focus on court intrigue and politics. Most of the characters she meets are unkind or untrustworthy. The only romance in this book seems to be with an older, married man. I could get past that if it was actually interesting, but it's painfully slow and barely existant. I got bored toward the end, but I'm going to give the second book a chance, because I think it still has potential with the cast of characters and their motives and desires waiting to play out. I'm just hoping there will be a good romance soon, and that the story will pick up faster.
