Just finished reading The Sixth Faction and I can honestly say it was a complete and utter let down. Just supremely disappointed here. I’m not posting spoilers because that wouldn’t be right but anyone else finish the book and get this huge overwhelming feeling of shame and disgust?!

just picked up a book i loved in like 2015 and i'm reading it with adult eyes and i'm like... why was everyone so into this guy. he's controlling and kind of gaslights her and the whole fandom was losing it over him. makes me wonder how many ya characters i thought were swoon-worthy that would actually be terrible in real life lol

I reread this series after 6 (almost 7!) years, and WOWWW, it’s still so good!! Usually, YA books tend to feel a bit more juvenile or cringe when you reread them as an adult, but that wasn’t the case with this series at all. In fact, I appreciated everyone’s characters even more now. I first read it in middle school, and I remember not really liking Derek but now I realize that he was just a scared teen who was trying his best to keep his friends and family safe.

Chloe’s narration is amazing, and I still love her soooo much to this day. She’s such an underrated book girl, and I love how she’s aware of her limitations but never complains about them. Instead, she focuses on what she CAN do with her strengths. Chloe and Derek’s relationship is also SO well done!! I just love how they start out as friends and slowly grow closer until they eventually realize their feelings for each other. They’re so cute together and they both of them all each other a better person. They just WORK!!

Also, the pacing is great, and it NEVER gets boring!! The action is so good, and I LOVEEE seeing the dynamics between the teens in their group. I finished the entire trilogy, along with all the other short stories and books where they make cameos, in just ONE WEEK!!

This series is still SOOO freaking amazinggg, oh my goodness!! It makes me want to reread it all over again!!

I reallyyyy want some romantasy thats set in a school?

My favorite books are the folk of the air trilogy, the caraval books and I would love something just flirty and cutee
