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.

The torture scenes were quite a bit too gruesome for me, but other than that I devoured this book.
Neil and Andrew’s relationship is so beautifully complicated I couldn’t get enough of it. So many things are going on between them and still there is an easiness between them that is just delightful.
I feel like I still don’t know enough about some of the other characters. We got such a detailed version of Neil, Kevin, Andrew and Aaron that the others seem lacking in comparison. Which is such a shame because they all have so much potential to be more deeply discovered. No wonder there’s so much content from this fandom. These characters invite you to discover them and their relationships further.
Maybe these weren’t very well written books, but they were so enjoyable and just take you in. As I heard someone say “these books are to be enjoyed, not admired” and I have to 100% agree to that.
