flowermel3's review against another edition

I think the worst part about this book series (also having this issue with alpha omega series) is how the longer it goes on the more it really hits me that all the potential I see in the first book even the next few books is never going to come to use. Instead what was at the time just icks you could ignore just keep coming back, stronger. The backtracking on character development, bringing in new characters instead of building on what we have already(actually keeping it) the not like other girls, in the same note sexism especially if the character isn't Mercy or Jesse, repetitiveness, I've stopped myself multiple times thinking didn't we already have a moment like this between these two characters in the last book why are they doing it again like it never happened, ABLEISM!!
It's all just become too much to even enjoy reading.
