One thing I appreciate about this series in general, is how despite the many (many) hardships our characters face, there is always at least a small sliver of hope that keeps you rooting for their success. I appreciate Lewis's determination to create diverse characters, presenting various races, cultures, sexualities, and class--even thought I feel that Lewis could do a more delicate job of showing and not telling. I am genuinely looking forward to the final installment of the series.
