I am don't know how to review books anymore so I'm just going to put comments. I feel like being more neutral. I feel like if I had re read the trilogy before reading this one it would of helped a little but then again maybe not. There is a very, very different tone to this one from the first 3 books. I honestly am not sure yet how I feel about it. I had a fun time reading it. I thought the male protagonists were MALE protagonists to the MAX, like I thought the author was almost doing some kind of joke on the reader. I thought this had to be clever. Like mocking the MALE protagonists of all MALE protagonists in capital letters MALE. It had to have been a feminist joke. And I found it very funny. But I am again feeling like no one else got …

But I am again feeling like no one else got the "joke" or that I am just a weirdo wanting to see that the author doing something clever that maybe wasn't.

I remember not enjoying this one as much as others in the series when I first read it when I was a teenager and I can't remember why because I had a great time reading this now decades later. Some of the ideas brought up in this book are very interesting and philosophical about men and women and violence and I think I may have not been able to process all of it at 15. I'm also glad that I had forgotten how the book ended so I was swept up in the tension building to the epic grand finale. Overall just a good fun time.
