I really don't know what to feel about this series. I can understand why people like it, because it's unique and very intense. But I cannot say this is a story for me. I don't like the characters, there's a lot of confusion in the way the story is told, and the world building feels haphazard. So many important plot facts are explained offhandedly in dialogue and without context.
