I have just started with book 6 (10% in) and its very very painful to keep reading. I was hoping for some solution but every single development is more cringe than previous. Is whole book like this? Will i find some respite?
Can't continue with this Lionel and Tory trope. 🥺
I was keeping up with reading order till book 4. But i haven't read 1.5 or any of the novellas of book 5. Hope thats not spoiling my experience.
