 This was... uncomfortable!! I hated every single character and none of them had any features about them that made them stand out. There were FOUR boys?? I could have sworn there were like two total because their personalities were the same.

Anyway, this is the definition of junkfood reading. Was this good and satisfying? Not really. Do I want to read more? Yeah obviously.

Really overall a great series. I think the first was the strongest and my favorite.

The world building in this series was really good and I liked it a lot. It built up the world and didn't infodump a ton of new information at once that was hard to understand. All of the characters were likable and I grew attached to all of them.

This series will break your heart and then hold your hand and put your heart back together with you.
