Romance novels keep the publishing industry afloat because they earn so much money.
Maas is a fantasy mega star right now because she's gotten into that dynamic like Gabaldon, like Auel etc.
That brings a lot of newer eyeballs to the genre, yet there are certain "I'm new here and don't fully know the landscape" critiques that are going to dominate reviews.

These books are not great. Since I was lured in by the idea of a strong female assassin and the main character is not actually that, I think I will switch over to reading Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel books. I've heard great things about those over the years.
