    I.. as always.. am at a loss for words. TJ always brings me laughing, crying, and questions about what it means to be human and this book was no different. such a small novella, yet so much emotion packed inside.. just wow.

    this book is so much darker than I expected it to be... i'm equal parts forcing myself to continue because i'm being haunted from the previous chapters, and forcing myself to stop because I need to know who Don and Rodney are going to meet next. some of these people are the very best, and some are the absolute worst.. and who are they going to see?? the traumaaaaa! ahhhh!!

  • first book vs last book (in a series)

    if you guys had to choose - and i mean HAD to.

    Would you prefer the first book in a series? or the last?

    i tend to love the first installment in movies, because i’m a sucker for origin stories. Things like spiderman, maze runner, etc, i love love love origin stories. I do love the first installments in book series too for the same reason. including learning about the world and the characters.

    the last book in the series is where everything comes together. the characters have grown in ways you’re proud of, and (mostly with the genre i love) the final battle draws near - and now it’s all or nothing. it’s everyone coming together to fight alongside each other, it’s strategies working in blissful ways and it’s the feeling of fear and excitement blending together as you find out what every single moment your characters have gone through has led to.

    this is just how i feel about first and last books, and i - for the life of me - don’t know what i prefer.

    if you had to pick, which one do you tend to love from a series?
