The actual plot of these books is interesting, but Lucy doesn't feel like a real character despite being the narrator. She adds no personality to her narration at all, and much of the time it feels like she is more of a neutral observer in the plot rather than an active participant. I will probably continue with the series, but I wish Lucy's head was more interesting to be in.
