3.0

After doing my reread before starting The Dryad Storm, I changed my rating from 4.5⭐ to 3.0⭐. This book honestly felt like a lot was happening, but really not a lot was furthering the plot. The constantly changing POVs (sometimes shifting between characters in the same paragraph) was so jarring and obnoxious. The romance featured too heavily. I didn't find any of the romances interesting or believable. 
The first 3 books in this series are so good and I just can't believe that the last 2 books are the way they are. Idk if it was an editing issue or she just had too much she wanted to fit into the books. But it's not working for me, unfortunately.
