1.5

This books presents a very unsatisfying end to a series that to this point vacillated wildly in both tone and quality throughout. None of the systemic issues presented in the frequently nightmarish society the books take place in were ever resolved in a narrative even when they were deliberately highlighted by the author as such. The stories waver between promoting acceptance and condemning individuals for being fat/ugly/alcoholic/ambitious/racist (and yes the author treats all of these things as equivalent).

I would not recommend this series. Given the author has become a well-known supporter of hate groups in the past several years, I would heavily advise potential readers to look elsewhere.
