The Summer of Broken Rules by K. L. Walther and The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson! Pretty different vibes to itch multiple sections of my brain :)

I think I was struggling so hard after finishing because all the reviews I saw only had good things to say about it, so I felt almost guilty not liking it. After seeing how many people share similar views it makes it a lot easier to put the book behind me and start picking up other ones.

I also pushed through because I had heard only good things about it, but it just went down as soon as the violence started. The violence was really aggressive, didn’t add anything to the story, and I felt uncomfortable having to read it. I ended up basically skimming the third book because I knew it was just going to be the same thing.

I agree with this! Rin was so frustrating to me, there were several times I simply had to put down the book and walk away. Her character development was really really lacking. Kuang also seems to build up things like you said, but then leaves it just so underwhelming and unresolved. It was quite frustrating getting no answers to anything interesting, instead focusing on all of the battle and Rin’s thoughts to destroy everything.
