FINALLY decided to read this series for the first time and it’s definitely a lot of fun! A great book to get out of a several month reading slump! I love the characters so much, it's kind of ridiculous! One thing that irked me was the lack of world building, but it’s no biggie since it is meant for middle grade reading level. It was extremely funny though so that was a pleasant bonus!
