dark tense

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No

2.0

problematic as hell (shocking amounts of ableism as well as some racism and homophobia for good measure) and i can't explain anything that was good about it but i must admit this was an intoxicating book and there's a decent chance i will be reading the sequels

To everyone who told me I needed to finish a series before calling it problematic. I finished it. It got worse.

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 the writing is terrible, it doesn't make sense, there are extremely harmful stereotypes and painfully outdated language, and the whole series is just one huge trigger warning.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 shit and uses the worst plot points imaginable for shock value. she's also just fucked in the head. this whole series is fucked up.

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.

The character appearances canonically and how many members of the Fandom view the characters differs. Overall, it's not a bad storyline.
