    The first book is super short. Don't be fooled by its low rating; most people didn't see the ending and the extra chapters. The ending has a huge plot twist, so if you're going to read it, you absolutely have to persevere! It's incredibly amazing! The extra chapters and the ending are a must-read. I won't say much about the second and third books; just look at the ratings. They're incredibly sad; I cried non-stop while reading them.
