I'm beginning to think you have a very, very low threshold for quality, Harry Potter notwithstanding. Maas is a writer of Fantasy who empowers her heroines only to weaken them during their journey to liberty, equality, and puberty. A lot of these books suffer from having too much romance stuffed into their innards. The charismatic alpha male and the power games are childish, just like the strategies used in Marvel superhero films. As a result of which, the pacing suffers a lot. Case in point, the books by Patricia Briggs are very awful, which is why I can't read these popular books.
