I enjoyed this book/series a lot - so much that I plan to reread it next year.  This book was easier with not so much torture as was in #1 and #2, and that was a relief to me.  I would encourage others to listen to the audiobook while reading along - as you can more easily visualize what you would see if this ever became a movie series (which would be amazing!!!! But that’s my dream).  This series is great for older teenagers and adults, as long as they understand that this can be a disturbing series.

But disturbing or not, I’m so glad I read this series and will read more by this author soon!!!
