Skylar is so annoying. if she wants to call anyone petulant it should be herself. her lack there of self awareness has literally enraged me at multiple turns in book 1-4. She is the proverbial bull in the China shop on so many levels and its not just because of what fate has put on her plate. its literally the way she acts and the decisions she makes. Ethan is absolutely right. she lacks impulse control. every time she does something redeeming like save a life she does a multitude of other things or forms copius opinions that wash it all away. the story is engrossing and well written however. i firmly believe that good art makes you feel. (not always happy or good but incites emotio nand feeling) The way I am thoroughly and effectively annoyed by Skylar is proof of how good these books are
