Book 1 was my favourite. Easy to read and a nice start. Book 2 brought more heart, but by Book 3 I struggled and skimmed through. Overall a bit slow and repetitive, but still had its moments.

I will definitely try to read some of her other recommended books that have high reviews and keep you all posted
