Status Updates From Predator Cities x 4 and Gui...

Book 4: A good ending to the story. Shrike seems to be the best character throughout. Wren was worse than ever. Poor Theo is going to end up like Hester, with a partner who is likely to cheat every time he turns his head. Tom is the same idiot as ever except that at his age now it is not cute anymore. All in all, except for Shrike and Stalker Fang, the characters were bad in this whole series.
Rating: 3/5

Book 3: I hated most of the book for how Hester was treated, but the ending was good. She is finally free. Free from the emotionally abusive cheater husband she got stuck with due to a teenage crush and an unplanned pregnancy. Free from her bratty child who dislikes her mom for having a scar. Free from that stupid town with shallow people who disliked her for being different.
Rating: 3/5

Book 2: Same main characters but the fun is somehow lost. Now they are behaving like normal teenagers and having a love problem which is boring and annoying. Bad actions can be easily repaid by good ones and the bad guy from the last book is justified. The world is much the same as it was in the first book except that now it is just repetitive.
Rating: 3/5

Book 1: Very fun to read. Interesting story. Interesting worldbuilding. Nice characters. There are some instances of sexism, but not very visible and it doesn't harm the story. It's for young adults, so there is no great philosophy, but it does make some interesting points. I hate that the engineers are the bad guys, but it makes sense in the world he has created and for the idea of the book.

What a complelling idea for a series.
I'm really digging this thus far!

Just finished Book 3. The end was emotional.
