I love the premise of the story, I love the world building, suspense, goals etc but the missed opportunities this story could have had but doesnt due to certain choices by the author are heartbreaking.
There have been a handful of chances throughout the 3 books where Anthony could have had such character growth & they are intentionally derailed for whatever reason. I think this is a problem easier to see having listened to these 3 books back to back.
The Ending of Book 3 could have been a really great moment but was ruined by the very thing that the MC thought was so disgusting. Gah. So so frustrated at it.
It is worth the read but the MC can be annoying at times which is fine & the plot armor gets pretty thick at times but overall it is enjoyable.
