I don’t understand why this series has the insane amount of hype it does, and yet I can’t stop thinking about it lol. I think one thing these books do well is to put the characters in a lot of very high stakes situations, constantly keeping the reader engaged to see what happens. Violet and Xaden are somewhat annoying, but I find myself enjoying all the side characters a lot. I don’t know, I’m really trying to figure out why this has implanted in my brain and I can’t quite figure it out!
