adventurous challenging tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

It took this one a while to really get going but I'm glad it took the direction it did and that the ending was one I could enjoy. Don't misunderstand, I still find this series to be overhyped and over-praised on the internet. It's not bad but the degree to which people put this duology on a pedestal is disheartening. Mostly I'm just glad I finally got through this.
