Review: young, insipid YA

Could not engage with this main character, the younger sister of Book 1's heroine. First I need to care about her, and that did not happen. She has powerful magic, but not much in the way of personality.  Her love interest was not much to care about, either -- kind of an average nice-guy Joe from another country, in her world to seek his fortune. Big events include kissing!!! and being seen kissing!!! And her mother delivering her 1eth child and one-on-one fights she has in a ring, with spectators watching and rooting for the male opponent.  Not sure who the audience for this book would be: girls who love martial arts and fear boys? Girls from large families who dream of kissing a boy by age 18? Weird and boring.
