Yeah this mostly sucked. Actually pretty much all sucked. I didn't like the first one but it was okay, this was barely readable. The characters are irritating. The plot is stupid. The romance is ridiculous. I just found this annoying. I pushed through but it wasn't particularly easy. I try not to rate books one star unless I absolutely hate them. I didn't hate this one, but I also couldn't justify two stars. It's more a 1.5 stars. On the lower end of 0.5. On the other hand I bought the boxed set and I will likely push through the next ones. I don't like the idea of leaving books unfinished.
