Nah, I thought they were boring, too. I was a big fan of the airmen but that was pretty short-lived, considering the end of book one. I was a big fan of the fandom's popular crackship of two of the guys.

The "couple" in the second book had a lot more dynamic than the first book's couple - those two really read a lot like the very classic student/teacher shonen-ai manga couple and that was pretty boring. Incest!ship had a lot more tension than the actual main couple, that was kind of ...sad. Third book was my least favourite and all I remember about it was the terrible characterisation I mentioned and the trans character.

Book 4 was a bit better than book 3 but not in a "you should think about reading it to complete the series after all" kind of way.

I thought that especially book 1 had a great basic concept and characters but it suffered from "let's spend all the time on character development and exposition, whoops we need some plot, let's push it all into the last ~50 pages". Book 2 got better in the plot department, but half of the POVs were pretty boring. Book 3 was pretty bad over all. The whole series was tricky, considering the main conflict had been resolved in book 1 and it seemed like they didn't really know what to do after that.

I still loved book 1 and especially what the fandom did with it, stories, artworks, kink-meme and all. It was an enjoyable place.
