For me this series has firmly stepped into "guilty pleasure" category. The setting I love, I know I'll be intrigued and want to finish the book. It's well written. The book doesn't challenge me in anything but not hating the protagonist, and since I'm failing that, I don't empathise with her very much which leads me not to feel too much in these books. I think this book even had a decent theme, but it just didn't resonate with me.
