I read this series for the first time over a decade ago, and decided to reread it to see how it held up now that I'm an adult and knew where the plot goes. And honestly, it's exactly how I remember it.

This is absolutely what I call a fast food read. The quality is lacking, and for every trope and plotline in this book, I can think of another book that did it better. But it's still addicting and I blasted through the whole audiobook in just a couple of days, just like I did a decade ago. Will definitely read the next two as well.
