please don't read this series if you're not already extremely fucked up and have nothing to lose. the writing is terrible, it doesn't make sense, there are extremely harmful stereotypes and painfully outdated language, and the whole series is just one huge trigger warning. if you love bullshit for the sake of shock value, maybe give it a try. this series has taken over my life and i wouldn't have it any other way. but that does NOT mean i'd recommend it to anyone, necessarily. just...be careful. go read the raven cycle or six of crows instead.

The author is problematic and this can be seen within her writing. Slurs are used often when those needs/feelings could have been expressed in a different way. Some racist terms are also used through out the book. I enjoy the plot and story but it does need to be judged for being problematic.

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.
