New Adult Book Club discussion

Okay so I am like 80% in and don’t get me wrong I am enjoying - just not as much as the previous one. Is this just me? Still will give it a 3.5 or 4/5 but I just feel like something is missing. I feel like there might be a bit too much Auren, and not enough of the secondary characters. I find myself much more intrigued by what’s going on with Osrik, Rissa and Queen Malina. I understand that Auren is the main character, but I wish you didn’t have to read 12-20 chapters of Auren to get to a different character (I may be over exaggerating a bit here… it just feels like loads) What do you guys think?
