Initial Impressions 6/20/17 3.5 stars 
 These books have all been good and enjoyable but still nothing that's totally wow-ing me. In each book, I hit a point where I get a little bored. It's interesting to see where the book finally ends, but it's such a round-about way (which is truthfully actually very cool) to get to the end point, and the end goal isn't always something massive. It ends up feeling a little anticlimactic and I would have loved to see a few of these elements written in together with one final larger goal instead of each of these being a different book (if that makes any sense at all). 
 I'm really enjoying the characters but I just wish the story was pushing forward a little bit more. I feel like some things are thrown into action too quickly and others take a long time to happen. 
 I am enjoying the series, though. I do still think the hype built this up too much but they're fun reads, I love the tone, and the characters really make the books. I'm just not quite finding myself as impressed as I had hoped.
