The protagonist never learns from her mistakes. Nor does she ever evolve as a character even though she has characteristics that should make it easy for her to evolve. for example, learning to love her wolf and magic and such. She seems to make every situation worse forcing concessions to make everyone unhappy. I stuck with it and liked some of the unusual aspects of the books and world, but got halfway through book three before I was just sick of the main character and had to give up.
