This was definitely a rough start of a book and I found the characters inconsistent and the douche-y things thrown out during fights were...problematic but not analyzed.

Character: You're a whore!...I only called you that to hurt you but hurting you hurts me
Me: ...excuse me? girl, slap him!

Thankfully it did get better towards the end and since I own the sequels...I'll eventually pick them up but I'm in no hurry.
