Very good. Hard to read a really YA focused book at 31 and not see things as immature. But I loved it.

I mean, what else does there have to be said about a classic?? I read this so long ago and wanted to revisit after seeing the prequel movie. It was fun to revisit with more attention and a different perspective. Excited to journey through the series again!
