HI GUYS DO U,, UHHHHH EVER THINK ABT THIS ???!!>??!/11?/??S?

The YA series The Court of Thornes and Roses has been mentioned to me dozens of times in the last month or two, so I'm working my way through it (please know I usually avoid YA classed books, due to not wanting to read something written down to a younger group's perceived comprehension level.) I'm currently about 1/4 of the way through book 2, and I've got a few questions for the fandom:

1. Does Fayre ever become a reasonable person?

She is willfully ignorant; has access to a high lord's library, desiring answers about the land and political climate, yet she only reads fiction? Grab a history child. She watches but almost never sees/comprehends anything; she hunted for years...yet she has 0 knowledge of body language. She actively goes against advice on instinct. Why not think a bit before you go against it, take 5 and make a plan. I do sometimes like her, but she frustrates me where I am in the series.

2. Is this series basically the Meridith Gentry series but pg-13?

Aka does Fayre become the "embodiment of magic/the goddess" and visit each court to gather new lovers & servants until she makes her own court and get pregnant with a mystical baby?

3. Does anyone in the Spring Court learn to communicate, in a meaningful fashion, with Fayre? Does her communication ever get better?

Tamlin is, at his bones as a character (as far as I know), is the "caveman, he-man" of the fey... I hope he gets more depth. In book 2 is a 1 dimensional bleh imo.

She thinks her thoughts very well, but so far rarely speaks them to the correct person (though learning to communicate may well be the point of this book, as she is gonna probably date the HL of the Night Court).

4. Does each book keep up the trend of having a specific fairytale seed (book 1 was Beauty & The Beast)?

5. Does the overall plot ever break out of the mold of "new book, new court to visit, plunder of ppl and fix"?

I hope it does, because this larger world is fascinating. Exploring it more would be delightful to me.

6. Is the series worth finishing?

The summary for each book I've read have both been intriguing enough that l checked the book out. I desire to keep reading the series, but I need them to improve to keep going. I enjoy the Fey in the books, but I'm very sick of Fayre's speciesism (she is racist against fairies, though fairies are a species) regarding them.

I have seen wonderful cosplays from this series, and beautiful artwork, so I do wish to learn about the world that inspired the passion.
