4.5

This series is astonishing and is so deeply different and more disturbingly realistic than any other book I’ve ever read. Not realistic in that I relate to all the evil, but realistic in how each moment is described, how emotions and decisions flow into one another, how motivation is constructed within each person’s mind, and how life flows from dullness to shock and back and forth. i feel crazy
