    I remember trying this series out in my teens, having already gone trough quite a few, and I remember it being the first book I just dropped under a half trough, but I couldn’t remember why until know. I just remembered it as shallow and depressing to read.

      About half way through is the weird sex torture that just comes out of nowhere. That could be why.

        I don’t think I even got that far. I remember it being quite off almost immediately, I was already giving it a chance and it just did not get better.

          I wish I didn’t finish it, but it was part of a book trade where a friend and I read a recommendation from each other. We don’t talk anymore.

          You’re a better person for giving up.
