3 star books that loses extra points for
convenient surprise pregnancy despite taking precautions
. A trope I despise.
This series is starting to feel more drawn out than I want it to be. There are ways in which it's reminding me of a Disney sequel - this thing we kind of resolved last time...surprise, it's back and as annoying as ever!
I'm not sure if its a matter of shaky character development or a series getting stretched out to meet the number of books the author thought they would write. The story itself is still interesting. I'm just developing more quibbles with it as we go on.
