Do you think it's overrated or perfectly rated?

I've heard it said once that it's prose is awful. Is it poorly written? Atleast, does it have a good story?

I made it most of the way through book two before I gave up. I don't think the prose is necessarily awful, its just very YA dramatic in a way that can get grating. Or that was my experience, its not terrible and if I was 14 again I'm sure I would love it, but as a grown ass man, I'm too old for that shit.
