3.0

I first read this series when I was in high school and I loved it, but I've forgotten most of the plot so I wanted to reread it. The first book, from memory, is my least favourite. There's a lot of worldbuilding going on and it establishes characters and relationships, but for the most part it could stand apart from the rest of the series. I found myself skipping quite a few scenes because of second-hand embarrassment, but aside from that I really enjoyed it, and I'm super excited to get into the main plot of the series in the next few books.
