A friend censored the particularly violent parts for me, which I appreciate greatly. The sports part made me think of Haikyuu and I’m sure I’ll be just as obsessed with this series as that!

Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it.

I think that I understand why people love these books so much. I think that the atmosphere that it creates can be really enjoyable at times. I understand that this a book series focusing on broken traumatized people. But I really didn’t see any character development from specific characters which really annoys me.

This is my all time favorite trilogy! I absolutely love this series and it will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Note: this book is VERY, VERY dark!! Please look at the content warnings because this book deals with a lot of triggers and trama.
