I don't even know how to score this. I only started reading it, because my ex thought it'd be a good series to read together. With every chapter, I just wanted to punch the main character - it's not even the genre that's the problem; it's the male "hero" or whatever he's supposed to be. I've heard it's a good series if you can get passed that, but I looked up the ending & my ship sank. Thus, not even going to bother picking it up again.
