A reread
A really strong start to the series! I love how concise the plot is, but you can still tell there is a bigger, more convoluted tale behind it all. I enjoyed ever single POV and storyline, but I just think some later installments were stronger books. Also Danys chapters were super uncomfortable and gross.
