But I can’t help but feel like this should have been book 1. Books 1-2 end in a strange manor. They’re awkward cliffhangers that don’t really sit well by the end. They feel like forced cliffhangers to stagger into more volumes. Books 1-3 should have all been book 1, and it even almost reads this way. Especially when you consider less than a week of real time has passed, and we are finally getting an idea of how the world works.
