this series is just so next level. i mean if i HAD to pick something to complain about it's that i could do without the sex scenes. and they're actually well written sex scenes so it's not like it's awful, i just find it rather unnecessary most of the time. but mostly i'm just so happy to find a complex, compelling dark fantasy series where the 'dark' part doesn't stand for 'tons of rape'. it's sad how rare a thing that is in today's fantasy market. 
 i love how once again i think i know what's happening for the whole book and then once again everything gets completely turned on its head at the end, the prose and story structure in this series is great and i can't wait for the last one. also i just love mia so much. i like that she's very morally gray and that she will help people if she can but also if that's not an option she will not even hesitate to cut down whoever is in her way if it serves her ends. she's definitely not a good person but she's a great well rounded character and it's just so refreshing.
