I was sceptical at the beginning, because I’m not the target audience anymore but my friend loves this series (he’s been trying to get me to read it for years) and he gifted me his whole collection and I promised him I’d give it a try. 

And I enjoyed it! It was a bit darker than I thought, but I loved that. I’m mad that it took me so long to listen to my friend and read it because younger me would absolutely love this!

There was one thing that was very confusing and that I didn’t like that much and it was the format (NOTE: I read the Czech translation and have no idea if this is in other languages too). It was kinda weird that the paragraphs weren’t visibly separated. I’m used to stopping in the middle of chapters so sometimes I had no idea where I stopped reading and it’s also “aesthetically” not that pleasing.
