i remember reading this for the first time when i was about 11 or 12 years old. i know, horrible age to start reading this series, but i loved it. i haven't touched it in a while, and i am certainly not anywhere close to finishing it, but i wanted to say how much i loved it. as a budding artist who was insanely passionate about my craft (and arguably still am, i guess), the style of this book dug itself into my art style and has been a part of it ever since. the characters are awesome, the plot is insane, convoluted, and something i'll probably have to reread to grasp again, and i don't know. i am always full of nostalgia when i see the cover of this volume, or when i look at my bookshelf and see the title across the spine.

It has VERY sexually graphic scenes that make it very hard to continue reading and are very distracting. It’s fine if the point was erotica but it seems to be a shock factor
