This was a really great series. Very cool. I liked that we were reminded often that our characters while evolving, were still young. I like that it wasn't clouded with romance. There was clearly no room for that here and the author kept it that way. There are so many great fight scenes in each book (which I think would play really well on film). There was some humour, some horror and some strong, insightful reflections. We grow to love our main characters, as we should after 5 books. There are enough tough choices made throughout the series to make the ending bittersweet, as it should be. If you enjoy YA, dystopian, sci-fi/fantasy/horror, then I highly recommend this series. Each book goes down easy. You will be entertained.
