Grumble, grumble.
Ok, this book started out pretty cool. Interesting backstory, and a female lead with really great political thoughts who was STRONG, and CAPABLE, and was very interesting in bettering the society...wonderful!!
However, this super promising exciting heroine eventually turned into as simpering whiny unlikable character who basically placed her entire worth/esteem on whether the hero would have sex with her. She was rather disgusting by the end, and I did not like them together. He also became very stupid and weak in his own way, and certain political things got tied up WAYYY too quickly and simply and it is just really disappointing because a bit more than half the book was very political then it turned into a very shallow romance novel somewhere along the way and I am not quite sure how it all happened but it made me really mad.
