This series is getting pretty good, I must admit. Every episode there’s some new twist, and this one takes it in a completely unexpected direction.

Fair warning: I enjoy series that do a good job of telling new readers (or readers who maybe haven’t read the previous instalment in a while) what’s happening. Not really a "last time on x", but just subtle weaving into the narrative. Like, the first time they mention a character in each book, they give a brief reminder of who that character is and where they fit into the story. Or when a plot point relies on something that came before, briefly go over what happened before. That sort of thing, you know?

This is not one of those series. Each book jumps straight into the action and expects you to know exactly where you are. If you read the last book a month ago and have a less than perfect memory, you are going to struggle. And if you haven’t read any previous instalments, then you have no hope. Go back to book one.

But these books are so short, they’re like 60 minute TV episodes, without recaps. You’re meant to binge them like a Netflix series—which I still think they’d do well as—where you finish the entire thing in a couple of days.

If that’s your thing, you’ll love this series.
