"You'll like the second one better!!" I mean...yeah, but barely. I understand why it's a popular series, really, I do. I just don't think it's the series for me. Characters feel flat and I can never fully immerse myself in the setting. I don't mind historical romance, but nothing is drawing me back into this family for their "main" stories. It's like I like these characters as support-characters rather than main characters: Anthony in the first book was hilarious, whereas in this one he was only 2D. Does that make sense?
