I have read this whole series & posted separate reviews for each book. I do wish I would have reviewed each book as I read it; instead, I kept reading right on through & now I don't remember exactly where each book ended. Box sets of course offer the benefit of being able to do that without confusion, so it's nice to have this set for the first 3 books at least. Regardless, I loved the whole series!
Jin is an awesome character, as is Adan. Their strength, resilience, morality, loyalty, abilities and skills all make them wonderful to read about & root for. I found the premise totally intriguing & the plots utterly engaging.
In this first half of the series, we get to know Jin and much of her history, as well as learning about the world she lives in and the graphing procedures that are being performed. And we get introduced to Adan and a small group of illegal graphs, as well as a few others that are not graphed, but are connected to them.
I didn't read these books as a set; however, for those who do, the transition points won't be an issue. For me, I was glad Graph Secrets left no gap when it picked up where Animal Graph left off, especially since so much was left unresolved; I wouldn't have called it a cliffhanger exactly, yet we were left mid-story in terms of finding Jin's mother. In this second installment, as Jin & Adan, along with Ostir, Klen, Sum & Lila, continue the quest to find & rescue her, they connect with a doctor and a small group of illegal graphs. The storyline is full of action & all the different abilities the characters have are so darn interesting, I think it would be impossible to lose interest! I love the descriptions of the scenery and events; being set in the African jungles makes it colorful & intriguing.
The only downfall for me with this particular part of the series was the graphic description of violence toward an animal character. While I shouldn't have been surprised based on the premise of the series, it still came as an unwanted shock for me as I am incredibly sensitive to any animals being hurt, even fictional ones. All-in-all though, I was invested enough in finding out what happens with the remainder of the characters & their quest to change their world so that I was committed to continuing. This book again ends with the culmination of one sub-plot while leaving the bigger storyline of ending Borran's reign unfinished, so I was totally compelled to read on....
When I got to the third book, Graph Lies, I was SO intrigued! The characters are totally unique, yet relatable. I think Ms Blackwelder did an amazing job of blending creativity with reality as she developed this dystopian world & the plots. As I mentioned earlier in my review for book 2, Graph Secrets, I was challenged by the graphic description of violence toward an animal character and have to say that this third book posed a similar challenge for me. The descriptions were not as detailed, yet more prevalent. I think perhaps the combination of animals & human characters I'd come to care about which encountered violent ends made this the most difficult installment for me to read. This book weighed heavily on me with the amount of loss and grief that the main characters experienced. Still, their strength & determination kept them going & fighting. It definitely compelled me to dive into the next book! I appreciate how each installment wraps up one of the main points in the overall storyline, yet leaves enough major sub-plots unresolved to pull me along to the next segment. Like reading the next part is a given; there's not even a question of whether I'll continue! All-in-all, I think reading the set of the first 3 books would be a great way to dive into the series, though I'd be surprised if anyone could leave it at that & I truly hope to see a set for the entire series!
