I read this years ago but this is what I remember.
This book, while there was definitely nothing wrong with it, just never grabbed my interest.
I was fairly bored with everyone and everything that went on.
Even though it was set up as a diary, which usually annoys me, this one was well done so I didn't really mind.
I liked Claidi to a point. At times she would have a funny quip or a good moment but I never really cared.
The romance was just...there? They could end up together or they could not. I didn't care whichever way they went.
The main problem, as you could probably tell, is that
I didn't care. I never went on to finish the series. I had no interest in doing so.
When I don't care, it means it was a flop.
At least when I hate something, I can rant and rage about why and what I didn't like but when you couldn't care less...there's nothing to be done.
