Dearest Gentle Reader, this book wasn’t what I was expecting.   While it did bring to life the characters and their stories, I feel as though it fell rather flat compared to the show.  I did enjoy the epilogues and the audiobook was narrated rather nicely, I don’t think I will be continuing this book series as of now.  It was entertaining just not really worth it to me, perhaps I’ll revisit this series later though.

This book is the worst thing I've ever read. Disgusting. If a man had written this the reviews would be VERY different, and I really don't think I can say more without listing the content warnings for this book, of which there should be many.
