That being said, there were a few things I had issues with. For one, slurs are used repeatedly for no reason, which makes reading this feel uncomfortable. Additionally,

While the series has its flaws, the handling of some serious and dark topics in particular, I still think that it is incredibly well written, and has some of the most compelling characters I've ever seen.
This book is funny (I forgot just how funny Andrew is, in particular). Neil Josten is one of my favourite characters of all time, and I love how we're clearly seeing everything through his skewed point of view.
Beware of trigger warnings though, especially since the amount of violence goes up in the following books.
