It was so, so good!

I got attached to all the characters in no time and each book's plot is so crazy and fun, plus each premise is completely mad. And the notes killed me every time, also the noodle incidents that are described in a lot of details but also not expanded upon because "they're not much" like I want to read those Mr. Howard!! I want to know about the giant ants and the other murder mystery!! Also if he could give us each book, from start to finish, in all of the main characters pov I'd be incredibly grateful thank you

And I loved how you can figure out the twists not because they're predictable but because they make sense, and how there are so many gutting moments (hello last quarter of the third book and ending of...well all the others really. I actually said "No" out loud more than once during the course of the books. Also laughed out loud but we're talking about tragedy here). And the amount of female characters, that are simply amazing (I'm including Minty, darling). Plus, I really loved that the Cabals are German. Not because they're German necessarily, but because they're not British. And you can hear their accent! Leonie is forgiven for being British because she's amazing and I'm generous like that

What else? The lack of romance was the cherry on top and I was so fucking grateful. Well, except for Thee Romance but that one's fine, it's tragic and gothic and her name is so beautiful

I could say more but I'm sure you weren't expecting a poem so here
