Don’t read a lot of YA now anyway so maybe missed my chance, definitely see the appeal though and think it’s a good fit for OP’s request! permalink fedilink source parent [–] frosty99c@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Agreed, especially now that the second trilogy is underway. Hoping the next book follows the same more mature progression and can wrap up the story in a satisfying way. permalink fedilink source parent
