Reasons this book is garbage:
1) Whiny FMC who constantly says there is nothing special about her
2) She's so "sassy" and says she won't "change her personality for anyone" -- and this apparently makes her strong/tough??
3) The dialogue between characters feels so unnatural. Plus conversations seemed to be a literal circle/they just talk about the same things

I'm just going to pretend they die in enemy territory and the series doesn't continue...
