Query: I'm not quite sure what the hype is about

I bought this book because of the excellent reviews the author received. I picked it over Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister because I found the premise more intriguing. However, I found the characterization and dialogue uninteresting. The plot was dull even in the places that it was unpredictable. I think it might appeal more to those who identify themselves primarily as readers of romance, rather than as readers of fantasy, as the romance aspects of the novel were its best conceived parts.
