This series is interesting in that I find it really engaging and can't put it down, but I also am not 100% sure I like it? Part of that is probably because I've learned more about the author since reading Fourth Wing, and I think she's said/done some problematic things, both in the way she writes these books and just in general. So I'm less inclined to just enjoy everything about it, and want to think more critically about this series. I do think that I'm just kind of along for the ride reading them and I wouldn't necessarily recommend them to anyone. That said, it was a fun ride, and I'll probably read the next in the series. Those cliffhangers/plot twists really get me.
