Loved this book as a kid, and it's such a joy to read as an adult. Very dark moments and themes for a children's book, but my eleven year old self and my 30 year old self loves every bit of it.

I really enjoyed this book and have continued on with the rest of the series. All of the content warnings I assigned don't all apply to this book but, more so the series as a whole.  But, over all I really liked it. It was very interesting and entertaining. Basically, don't go into this book thinking it's middle grade, as I did :).
