This is so very frustrating because I’m WAY more interested in the witch main character and her parents’ history and her aunts and her studies in history, but both she and the author seem to think the only interesting character is the cookie cutter “enigmatic” benignly sexist vampire love interest. Ostensibly the book is about her but for 200 pages it’s been Matthew this and Matthew that and I just want to get to the plot! It’s so hard because the plot promises to be very interesting but I don’t know if I can wade through much more of her claiming that she can take care of herself but then letting everyone else tell her how to live her life. I don’t want to give up on the book in frustration, but... I’m really sick of this guy.
