adventurous challenging dark funny tense

4.25

So, I saw the trailer for the Netflix show and when I found out that it was based on a book I knew I had to read it before I watched the show (perks of working in a library is free reservations ya'll). I flew through the book, Nathan could surprise me by being funny as hell at unexpected moments, and I'm consequently going to go binge the TV show. I will definitely be ordering the next two books in the trilogy from my library.
