It's not that I prefer a heavy focus on the romance -- I rather like (and it makes me laugh a little at myself to say this, because I never used to be this way) Celaena and how she approaches love. Provided she even understands it.
No, it's that I like the neatness of knowing that everything's going to be okay (or heading in that direction) at the end of the book. Series, like Throne of Glass, don't have that luxury. And that's okay!
Because it's a series. And bad things have to happen for the series to continue. I get that. But now, more than ever, it's slightly frustrating for me. Because things happens. And more things happen. And I wanted a resolution to those things that's impossible to have at this stage of the series.
Did I like this book? Yes. Do I like this series? Definitely. But I may have to revisit the way I read series like this and wait until they're finished before diving in, so I can read the series the way I'd read a single, standalone book.
