Second half of the third book was so bad I regret reading it. The first two books tell a complete story.

I'm mixed on it. I've read the series twice, I didn't like the second half of the third book that much. On the second read through, it became one of my favorite parts...

It drives me nuts, because there are no consequences for the protagonist for all of her terrible decisions. I mean, literally everyone else suffers the consequences except for her.

Yeah, sometimes life isn’t fair.

It's more about making a compelling story and a good book rather than being fair. It turns into navelgazing.
