About four years ago I read her book THRONE OF GLASS, and it was so poorly written (I gave it 1 star on Goodreads!) that I don't think I'll waste my time with her again. My biggest issue with that book was that the main character had a backstory that had zero connection with her present personality or behavior. I don't understand how books with such poorly developed characters can become so popular. But it's also a lesson for me that not everyone reads for character the way I do; some people read only for plot and they're willing to not question the rest.
Oh, thanks for letting me know! I was going to give Throne of Glass a try but I'll skip it. And, I'm with you--for me plot and character go hand and hand and can't (or shouldn't) be teased away from each other. But yeah--lots of people read just for plot!
