It was largely due to the main character. I felt like she was too similar in personality to the main character in Wendy's first series, The Sweet Trilogy (I think). Anyways, I'm sorry this one wasn't as good as the first! The romance definitely sounds seriously frustrating! I don't think I'll be reading this one anytime soon :( <br /><br />Thanks for the honest review, Alyssa!<br /><br />Ashtyn @ <a href="%E2%80%9Dwonderlandsreader.blogspot.com%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Wonderland’s Reader!</a>Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824421758203354453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-80888337818141377362017-01-30T12:29:38.363-05:002017-01-30T12:29:38.363-05:00Hmm another interesting review.

I like the multiple POV's since the characters aren't all together and you need all their views to make a complete picture. I agree on the forces marriage topic isn't that fun to read about, you sort of know what is going to happen.
