The endless gore, unnecessary violence, and maiming is not doing anything for me. At this point, I don't care what the messages/themes are, I don't want to witness children seeing violence or experiencing it themselves. Such a shame, cuz the story and worldbuilding are truly awesome, but the obnoxious amount of violence is ruining it.

I like these books, this one just seemed way more violent than the other ones, and I didn’t really like it as much.

Continues to be a great series even though this one was lacking some punch for me. The lore for this series seems bottomless. New characters continue to be introduced and new foods, monsters, locations. It's a feast for the eyes but I can't keep track of it all unless I go on a reading binge.
Of course at this point I've gotten used to the sexual and scatological references in the book for the main characters but it's hard to ignore that if they were removed the from the story not much would be changed or lost

My favourite genres are body/ecological horror, awe-inspiring SciFi exploration, and cute & stylish cartoons. This series is the wildly rare point where all my favourite things meet.
