A Court of Mist and Fury

@#(! terrible. While the first book in this series was something I described as “if Twilight were better written,” the same cannot be said of this book. It's garbage.Among my complaints:- The overly dramatic antiquated sentence structures used at times.- The constant references to “males” and “females” instead of “men” and “women”- The incessant drama created from the simple fact that the characters don't sit down and have adult conversations with one another.- The disgusting sex scenes. As mentioned in my update, they're too vulgar to be considered romantic and too basic to be considered erotic. They're just gross.- Oh, the lead is from a society without religion, but she understands concepts of heaven and hell?- Why is it that every single time these people encounter a situation where someone else has something they want, the solution is to steal it? No one ever attempts to negotiate for it or simply ask for it. They're like, “Oh, they have this blah blah thing. I guess we have to steal it now.”- I absolutely hate the lead character. She is an idiot – emotional, unreasoning, rude – and exactly the sort of *female I hope my daughter never is.

I'm going to listen to the audiobook of the third book in this series because I made the mistake of buying it in advance, but I am already angry about it.
