This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'd argue that the series had WAY too much death, war, sexism and slavery to get a pass on being children's books that are beyond scrutiny, that's just my opinion though.
The last 2 books had definitely grown past children's labeling. Neither the writing nor the worldbuilding has grown alongside them, though.
I think that's part of what made the series so popular though. She did a great job at letting the characters in the books grow up alongside the readers. Someone who read the first book when they were 7 could enjoy the last book when they were 14.
I haven't re-read the books since I finished them sometime around that age, so I won't comment on the world-building or writing outside of recalling that I was completely absorbed and fascinated when I read them.
Exactly! As they go on, they get more and more young adult, which is fantastic.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
And it's a terrible love story.
