First line: "Black is the colour that is no colour at all." 
 This series is without a doubt one of my favourites. I can't believe how quickly I binge read/reread them. I think it's a true testament to Alexandra Bracken's talent that she could constantly keep me engaged in a series where the books were all around 500+ pages. Granted, there are definitely slower parts, and I may have had to push through them a bit, but my deep love for the characters made it easy. 
 The characters are truly where this story shines. I don't think I've ever read a series where such a large cast grabbed my heart entirely. Each person had their own unique personality and motivations, and the story just felt so rounded with what everyone brought to the table. Obviously, I have the biggest soft spot for Liam, and I think he ranks up there as one of my all-time favourites. 
 This series definitely won't be for everyone, but it's so rewarding to get through it. I NEED THE MOVIE NOWWWWW.
