Suggest a series for someone who loved the concept of “A Court Of Thorns and Roses” but hated the execution.

I tried getting into the ACOTAR series. Sort of enjoyed the first book. Forced myself through the second. DNFed the third. I loved the world building, the scenery, the concept. Hated the execution. I hate SJM's writing, and found the characters immature and insufferable. Is there a better series out there that's similar? by mcrfreak78
