Back when I was 14 and cruising the library I stumbled on this mass market...had no idea what it was or that it was the 10th book in a series 😅 but I checked it out and DEVOURED it. After realizing it was part of a series I quickly read through the first 9 books and then attempted to keep up with all the releases. Knowing I haven't read past book 22.5 I've slowly been on a reread to see if the books give me the same badass and awesome feels that they did back then.

Rereading this series has been an eyeopener to just how many problematic aspects/personality traits I completely ignored or didn't pick up on as a teen. That being said I enjoyed rereading this book so much. I'm still irked by Anita's internalized sexism/homophobia/biphobia/ableism/fatphobia/sex shaming but I can slowly see how her perspective is starting to shift in at least a few of those areas. I look forward to continuing my reread and seeing her evolve even more into a more open-minded and accepting individual.
