If you’re looking for an emotional rollercoaster, this series is the one for you. If you’re reading book 6 and looking forward to book 7, stop at 86% and pretend everything is okay and happy in Solaria. 
The pacing is wild, there was moments of absolute hysterical laughing, and moments of absolute despair and I would not change it for the world.
This series has made me feel the full scale of emotion, recommended when I asked for a series that would “punch me in the face” with emotion. Well, mission successful…

nobody is safe. Orion and Darcy have a sliver of hope, but that’s it. Darius is fucking dead, Gabriel is practically doomed, I don’t even want to THINK about Geraldine and Xavier and I absolutely cried at Catalina and Hamish. That was absolutely fucking heartbreaking
