adventurous dark emotional medium-paced

4.0

It's been so long since I read a young adult book, but I saw an ad for the movie, and I rewatched it. It wasn't enough, so I jumped into the first book. This was one of those books that came out towards the end of high school for me, so I never finished the series, and it would be fun to see where this reread went. I liked the book, and it was different from the movie, but I did like the pacing in the movie more. I really wish the rest of the books were made. Anyway, it was nice to come back to this series, and it didn't leave me feeling like it was just for young adults. It was a good time.
