3.0

The last 100 pages was so engaging! I loved how it focused more on other character relationships. 

HOWEVER, 

this series just had a reprint and you are telling me no one could edit out the micro-aggressions and ableist language and lines

ALSO WHY ARE THE CONFEDERATES IN THIS. BOOK WHAT WAS RICK ON

There is no reason to still have the r word in a book, especially with so many people reading the series, since the show has premiered

I love where this series is going but I’m very disappointed with how it portrays disability so far and acknowledge the problematic aspects, which is why I am reading through the library
