I love this series but I also donate to the Trevor Project every time I read one of her books, as JK Rowling is transphobic. Lots of triggers and an interesting subject considering the author’s own experience with twitter.

0.25

WAY too long, too many uninteresting side characters, so much unnecessary detail unrelated to the plot. Even without the myriad problematic bits the book is just awful. Do not waste your time.
Some notable quotes:
“A deep cavern of cleavage was revealed”
“He probably thinks I’m special needs after the conversation we just had”

Also the character who calls out the racism/ableism/transphobia of the murdered author is revealed to be a pedophile 🙄 along with the others who criticized her being revealed as alt right incels.
