These Infinite Threads

Unbelievably tired of and annoyed at Alizeh doing nothing but gasping, crying, complaining every choice is a forced one, and generally being wholly without a spine. She's literally got supernatural abilities, yet she's always so frail that she lacks the power to make any choice for herself. Any amount of stress at all, and she must collapse into literally any man's chest for protection. constantly frozen into place, she's nothing more than a soggy piece of blank paper.

The first book was honestly great and it was easy to understand the predicament of the main female character to put aside her fraught nature. This book is 50% Alizeh being pathetic and thinking that's 50% too much time spent with her when the two kings are infinitely more interesting.

Quick notes:
- the stakes were so low (the devil is mentioned since book 1, but it's just being mentioned over and over, without many bad feelings about these feelings. No tension, no suspence).

- Cyrus is supposed to be mysterious but there is nothing that made really want to know more about him. Again, lack of tension.

- Kamran and Alozeh were pretty flat.

Overall, nice world and story but they are treated very superficially. the focus seems always to be on the characters.
