Books like Arcane Solutions

This book had a lot of potential. I wish it had gone another round or three with beta readers before being published though. The plot was decent at the beginning, but by the time we hit the end of the book there was just sort of a rush to be done with it. The final fight scene instead of being dramatic and full on tension made me go "are you for real?" instead. And the "romance" in the book was really bad. I mean basically she's with him because she was horny the first night and after that it really seems like she just doesn't feel like telling him that she's not as into him as he's into her. It was horrible and I wish she'd told him to go away and leave her alone. And instead she allows him to make all these claims on her she doesn't like, but in the end just goes along with for no reason that I could see. This makes the appearance of another potential boyfriend annoying. I don't mind love triangles if they're done well and the personalities of all the characters support it, but in this case there is literally no reason for our main character to be with the first love interest. And the second love interest is a much better fit, and someone that actually pays attention to her and her feelings. Then there were her powers. While most humans with magical powers have one or two, she apparently has all of them - sometimes not even mentioned until they are conveniently needed. Obviously the main character of a fantasy novel is usually going to be more powerful or talented than other people, but this was handled in a ham handed fashion. Instead of making me interested in finding out why she's been gifted with so many powers, every time another one comes up I would just roll my eyes and think "well, of course she has that one too". Basically, she felt more Mary Sue instead of Child of Destiny. I did love the familiars. They were a lot of fun. In the end, between the silly ending and the horrible "boyfriend", I have no interest in reading the next book.
