Finding out that this was originally supposed to be a manga explained everything and now Iโ€™m revising all my reviews to give it 5 stars because it is so fun. Truly the Riverdale of books. Bending the rules of reality because the author has never lived in reality.

Important: Do NOT take this as me recommending the series. Unless youโ€™re my friend and youโ€™re funny.

I wish I could rate a book above 5 stars but I will just say that since finishing this, I have gone back and re-listened to Chapter 14 twice on the audio (plus a small amount of 15) and then relistened to the whole second half of this book just so I could cry.  Like the hangover is so real.

These Absolute GD Disasters.  I do not believe anyone trying to tell me that there is a better relationship than Andreil. I don't care what you say. You cannot convince me. I love them. I would do anything for them. I would face the Mafia and Renee on their behalf I do not care.

You thought the torture was bad in The Raven King? Funny. That was nothing. Nora was just warming up for when Neil's countdown ends.  Like please remove that section from my brain because I will never be the same. We thought Neil had a lot of scars at the beginning of the series (:.

Anyway Sober Andrew is everything to me. 5 feet of pure fury and protectiveness please let this boy be happy. Also the changing dynamics between Andrew and Aaron after the second book are amazing and I love them! And Kevin-Queen of Exy-Day? Absolute treasure. I--the development. Of these characters. My life.

If anyone needs me I'll be rereading this until my eyes bleed, kthxbai.

I cannot, in good conscience, give this book a 5 star read because, like all of her books, itโ€™s probably objectively not good. Does that stop me from going absolutely apeshit crazy over it? Absolutely not. I love this book. I love this dumb trilogy. Kevin Day is the light of my life and no I will not be taking questions at this time.
