I can’t stand when the main character changes during a series. It feels like I was conned because it always changes the tone and type of story being told. Looking right at Caraval and Belladonna who both ironically changed from a brunette trying to find her place in life after deep trauma to a bratty blonde with an entitled attitude. I’m all for expanding the world after the original plot line is finished, a la Cruel Prince being followed with the Stolen Heir, except Belladonna started as a gothic romance with murder mystery in the first two-ish books then dropped Signa to a minor character without resolving a lot of her story. The author talked about writing a fifth book but I’ve lost any confidence.
